Garden Grove High School Quarterback - Sean Young

Tonight Jacob and I went to my friend Sandy's son's high school football game. It was the last game to determine who would go to CIF. Sandy's son, Sean (a.k.a. "Seanie"), is the team's quarterback. He is a senior and this is his first year as a quarterback. He played runningback for the first 3 years of high school. Anyway, Jacob and I met up with Sandy, where she saved us a seat with the rest of the family/friends that were there to cheer on Seanie and the Argonauts.

The first quarter and second were GREAT! Seanie really is a great player. No wonder Sandy boasts about him!

Unfortunately, Seanie was hurt during the second quarter-- he had a broken rib and couldn't continue. I almost feel like the opposing team purposely went out of their way to make sure they hurt the best player, so they would have a chance at winning. That makes me mad! Seanie had to be wheeled away on a gurney! It rained during halftime, and unfortunately, the second half, Seanie didn't play (because he was in the hospital)! :( The Argonauts ending up losing. They needed their quarterback. It seems like they really relied on him... they relied on him so much, that even without him, they couldn't play at all! But the season was great. The kids had to go through a lot-- they lost a player during a game. His name was Kevin Telles. He collapsed on the field and died at the hospital. I think Kevin is what really motivated these kids to play hard and tough. They had an undefeated record (until their last game). And it's GGHS's SECOND time in YEARS since they've made it this far. Kudos to Garden Grove High School football! Maybe one of these days Sandy's boy will be a famous football player. I guess we'll see when we hear "Seanie Young"'s name on tv!
