I am taking off work to see him in action!

Enjoy. My son is taller than me but I still have the crown for weight! Lol Hope he enjoys football. Are you in the New Prarie system? They had a good team last year. My hs team had a great 8 to 10 yr run back in the 80s-90s. Think in my 4 yrs we lost a total of 6 or so. 4 being in the tournament each year! I enjoyed hs ball and have enjoyed watching my son play and develop into the sport. Couple injuries have hampered his hs playing time but on track again for his Jr yr.

At not even 13 years old, he’s gonna be way taller than you in no time. Good luck to him this football season. Having a daughter on our cheer squad, I’ll be at every Friday night game starting next Friday.
And Greg, those are slides not house slippers and kids wear shorts all year round these days.

The middle and high school are one mile to our backs in the pic. Good looking boy there! Injuries are not what we are wanting to see! We were hoping for basketball, because he loves it, and is very good. But, he came up with football out of the blue. We certainly weren't going to stop him from trying. He might be good at that too! Lol.

Definitely a “Both Ways” player…… Better get his birth certificate ready people will swear he(Luke)belongs in High School!

Never an issue yet. I'm mostly surprised they never question at Golden Coral, since 12yo is a cut off window. Kid can EAT! Lol. I do carry his hunting license to have something on hand. No pic ID tho. School ID doesn't even have a pic.

Referring to myself now. Lol. Big Luke has officially over taken ole Dad, on the first day of school, 7th grade, 2023. He is already bigger than I was when I graduated high school. His birthday is this month, when he will be 13yo. So he still has a lot of potential to grow. He is playing football this season, and his first game is on his birthday! I am taking off work to see him in action! What's his height and weight? At 13 I was about 6'2" but only about 125 lbs.

It's no wonder he catches so much fish! He has his own gravitational pull! He is a big boy!

In hs or college but a 13 yr old in 7th grade that is 6-2 250 lbs...right tackle all day long. Coaches will drool over that. If he grows any more and has decent speed, that is big college o-line size. My boy's team doesn't have tight ends. They run H-backs, and only like 20% of the plays have one in there. It is a different setup than I am used to. They pass and run options more than we did at a small school 30 yrs ago.
