NOTES from the BIG CHAIR

The Lugoff-Elgin Freshmen High School Football Team (yep, we called it B-squad in my era) has just finished a 5-3 season, which starting center and middle linebacker Max Fowler (my nephew and godson) attributes to everyone "just hitting it off really well, on and off the field."
Though only 14, Max speaks like a pro. Max's performance and leadership has earned him - and a handful of his equally talented and competitive teammates - the honor of dressing out with the varsity team this coming Friday.
As a tribute to this fine group of young men, I'm sharing with everyone some of the pictures I shot of them this season (scroll down over the last three posts to view them, or simply click here, here, and here).
Oh, and look for Max: He's # 52.
And STAY TUNED for some great LE High School wrestling action.
Best,
WTSjr
