J, now in tenth grade, played his first varsity football game on Saturday following months of pain, physical therapy and doctor's visits.
He had been injured in June at NFL camp.
We traveled to inner-city Buffalo to watch him play. We were frisked upon entering the sports complex and we walked through metal detectors and rows of security guards.
It was thrilling to see him go in and agonizing to see him limp out after taking a helmet to the shin.
The other team was viscous and the refs were kept busy calling personal fouls.The Panthers' cheerleaders growled and meowed.
Our boys were disciplined and focused. We shut them out 25 to 0.
