.......Well......maybe only in DAD'S eyes. 
Went to my son's 8th grade football game last night. He had a very good game and made his dad, mom and grandparents in attendance very proud.
He threw a 60 yard touchdown pass, 45 was on the ground by the WR but hey, that's still impressive for both of them. He ended up 7 of 10 for somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 yards. We were all shocked at the amount of passes thrown. Usually they run the ball about 95% of the time at this level. Last week he went 0-2 and that was the only 2 passes thrown the entire game by both teams.
On defense he was CB and came away with one interception and a tackle for a 4 yard loss on a toss sweep.
He is the kicker and kicked off twice. The first time they underestimated his leg strength. The coaches kept telling the kick returners to move up about 10 yards and he kicked it over their heads where they picked it up at about the 5 with about a 10 yard return. The second time they stayed back....I tried yelling at them to move up again but they wouldn't listen. LOL
He is also the punter and punted once for something ridiculous like 55 yards because the other team underestimated him again and he kicked it over their heads and had a huge roll to his advantage.
A couple of his teammates had impressive games too. One of the defensive linemen had back to back blocked punts. Nearly got a third later in the game. Another d-lineman had a ton of tackles, several for losses and one of them going for a safety.
The safety and td pass ended up being the only scores as they missed the 2-pt conversion winning the game 8-0.
