Football

As an avid fan of the Austintown Little Falcons and a friend of one of the players mothers I had the opportunity to attend a scrimmage game and then the opening game on Sunday Aug. 23 of the ALF 95# team. When the practice season started the league handed out letters to the parents that the main objective of the league was to instill confidence in each and every one of the fine young boys. Winning was not the top priority but giving these boy a start a believing in themselves was. Well i guess that looked good on paper because it sure was not the case as I was watching these 2 games. There were a select 12 players that played the whole 4 quarters in both games. They played offense and defense. Now I find it hard to believe that not one of these 15 boys sitting on the bench were not capable of playing in the "A" game. In the game on Sunday Aug 23 the top 12 were not playing that well. They kept fumbling and missing tackles yet these 12 were not replaced by any player
