Fall 2009

Here it is fall. I am only a couple months down on keeping this up to date. It has been a crazy football season already and now it is over--fffewww. Freshman Football was a bit more intense than I expected. It was a bit more difficult for Marx too. We'll just say that you really appreciate good coaches when you end up with coaches that aren't. Marx did have a couple that were in his corner and worked with him, but there were a couple who needed their butts kicked up around their ears--I was a little too close to being connected to the foot that would do the kicking so I am relieved the season has come to a close. I may not have made it if the season was any longer. Marx played full back and tail back positions and did well. He gained yards and points and knew his plays inside and out. He also threw big blocks which was outstanding considering the size of some of these kids. For defense, he played corner, middle linebacker and safety. It was hard to keep up with that. Marx is number 9.




Here he comes!

Running the ball after a hand off

Running the ball on punt return

Throwing the shoulder down before the hit comes.

Making the tackle

Owww. He flipped the two defenders off of him when he continued to roll over his head!

Moving it into the end zone

Punching it right in.

Marx and Brian as captains

Marx has been working with a trainer for wrestling over the last couple of months. He was picked for this special opportunity and it is outstanding that he has such a great group of coaches for wrestling. It should be an exciting year. He has been looking forward to wrestling and is working with his Talon coaches starting next week. When November hits, Marx will have only missed about 1 month of wrestling during the past year. He took every opportunity to go to open mat and train. As he said to me today, he can't wait to start rocking the mat again.
