Chris has decided that he really doesn't want to play baseball anymore. He said he still loves the game but he wants to try something new and different. He always wanted to play football and all his closest friends are football players, unfortunately he transfered to a high school that didn't have a football team. Last year at NAPS the football coaches were all over him but he played fall baseball.
Well this year after talking to the football coaches he decided it would be too much to try to play for the first time and juggle plebe year. But he also caught the attention of the rugby coach and one of his detailers is the team captain. Rugby is pretty close to football, right?
He told me that he was going to try out for the team, I thought he was crazy. But he is smart young man and he is going to do what is best for him.
I wished him luck with the try-outs and told him I support his decision.
He called me on Sunday to tell me that he not only made the team, he is the only plebe that is on the travel squad for a tournament this weekend in Montreal. If he stays on the travel squad he will be going to South Africa for spring break. Navy is ranked #3 in the nation and they have made it to the Final 4 several times.
So if there are any rugby fans out there I could use a crash course on the rules..LOL
