IT'S EMOTION BOWL WEEK AND THE SCHOOL GEARED UP AN ALUMNI FOOTBALL GAME. HE LOOKS GOOD IN HIS OLD FOOTBALL GEAR DOESN'T HE??? #26!!! ONLY THING THAT LOOKS DIFFERENT IS THERE IS NOT MUCH HAIR ON THE POOR KIDS HEAD AND MUCH MORE ON HIS FACE.

JUSTIN WAS WAY EXCITED TO PLAY ON THE TEAM. THEY HAD PRACTICES AND FULL PADS AND EVERYTHING.

AFTER INTRODUCTIONS THE GAME BEGAN. JUSTIN RAN THE FIRST FOUR PLAYS AND WAS GAINING YARDAGE. THE KID LOOKED GOOD. IT WAS GOOD TO YELL FOR HIM, OUR #26.
