I had the chance to watch the West Elk Jr. High football team last Thursday. I just want to applaud those young men for playing hard. They only had 13 players and one of them was out hurt. That left one sub. I've never seen a football game where you might never get a rest. Those boys played hard! They didn't have the highest score but for the few fans in the stands they were winners. I'm glad I had the opportunity to see them play and I hope they continue playing into high school.
