December 2022 The Panthers are down eight to the Vikings. Time is slipping away. It is a cool and misty evening on the field at Crossroads School, and it’s the semifinal game in the NFL Flag playoffs. My son is the Panthers quarterback. David drops back to pass and hurls the ball as far as he can down field. Three boys leap for it, and it falls into the arms of a Viking defender. The game is over. The season is over too. For my son, it is a bitter end – the entire fall campaign finishing on a desperate, ill-advised throw.
Congratulations to David. And yes this is your victory, too, Dad Hugo. I'm glad you and your son got to share the enjoyment.
Thank you!
