Adding to the Scenario – Joshua’s Injury

Joshua had a junior varsity football game on Monday, September 20.  Mark went up to the high school to watch Joshua play.  Joshua plays tight end and defensive end.  Mark calls me during the games to give the play-by-plays and highlights.  Joshua was having a great game until he called to tell me Joshua was hurt.

 Andrew, our team trainer, thought he probably sprained tore his MCL.  He is also probably out for the rest of the season.

 This is very disappointing and we feel bad for Joshua.  He has tried to do the things he was expected to for the team.  He is a wonderful team player and he is good at football (of course I have been accused by one of the coaches that I look at Joshua’s athletics through “momma glasses”).   He is faithful to practices and team meetings.  We have sold so many of those football fundraiser cards.  Mark and I try to support the team through the Touchdown Club, activity attendance and support.  The church provided the pre-game meal before the first home game against PC West.  I also designed a new website for the CHS football program. 

 By the way, I will always look at Joshua through “momma glasses.”  He is a wonderful young man with outstanding character.  He has endured a very complicated family atmosphere his whole life and it is becoming even more difficult again.  We are very proud of him!
