Reply to "Generational High School Players"

I played for the same high school as my father. I would never do it to my kid. Due to the progression of time and development along with his genes I was a better athlete. But my father being from an era (1938-41) when a family weekend trip thirty miles away made the local newspaper I was competing against a legend. No matter what I accomplished I was Eddies kid. We had the same football coach.

He went on to play football in the Big Ten when it would have only been bigger to play for Notre Dame, Army or Navy. He got injured and transferred to a family legacy NESCAC where he played baseball and basketball. His father and grandfather were three sport stars there. I had no desire to play at a D3.
