Hey all, my son has been blessed with the opportunity to represent NM at the Diamond Sports All-American Game in Virginia Beach, VA. He is currently a 6th grader and is a straight A student. I can't begin to tell you his love for this game, although I'm certain you are very familiar with it as you are a member of this site. He will have the opportunity to compete with kids from all over the country as he represents our state with a zia on his helmet. As the trip is right after Christmas, I have started a Go Fund Me page to hopefully offset the some of the costs of traveling there. The flight is the most expensive as it's during the holiday season. I've never done one before so we are doing bake sales and other fundraisers as best we can. Would you consider donating a couple of dollars as Bobby continues his passion? If there is anyone that would consider any type of sponsorships, I have a letter that I can send for tax deduction purposes. I appreciate and thank you for your time just for even reading this, and again, if this is not allowed, please delete and I do apologize.

Poll: Week Nine Most Likely To Upset

Best warm up or pump up song before a game. We had national "funky" day this week. So pick the must listen to song.

The weekly sacrifice to the HS football gods.
