Maxwell played football for the 8th grade Spartans this year and had a really great season! He played cornerback and started every game and played the majority of every game. Pretty fantastic! He rarely let up a play on his side and had some great tackles.
Of course, Maxwell was all about the drip each week – the turf tape, the scrunch socks, the eye black – it was all perfectly thought out each week! No surprise there.
He did get injured one game – his hand got caught and the trainer was afraid his thumb was broken. They got us set up to see Dr. Ortega at Andrews next morning to get it x-rayed. Thankfully it wasn’t broken but he did get to wear a brace for two weeks.
Love all these boys.
Maxwell even got to be captain for two games which was awesome.
The Spartans didn’t win much but that didn’t really matter – what mattered was that #20 played well! Hard to beat those Thursday night lights!
I sure am proud of this kid and I sure do love to watch him play!
Go Spartans!
