Today my grandson and I had a little sing-a-long. Although I don’t think he was quite happy with how I was singing the songs.

John Adams vs John Glenn Scrimmage

Friday August 13, 2010, John Adams High School took on John Glenn High school in a football scrimmage. This was pre-season play and did not count for anything nor was it like a regular game. Each team was given the ball for a period of fifteen minutes or fifteen plays several times during the scrimmage. During these plays the teams worked on reading the other teams plays and then counteracting it with their own. It was a great opportunity for the players to put into use the plays and techniques they had been learning over the previous weeks.

Each team was also given eight plays designated for the kicking game. William took the field for the very first time as a football player, and as a kicker. Below is a short clip showing just one if William’s kicks and then a short interview afterward.

I have also included some photos of his kicks below.

Today Adams High School will have a scrimmage with John Glenn High school. This will be the first time William will be kicking with “some” pressure. So in light of this I took the opportunity to interview william about how he is feeling so far. This was also a test of the new Kodak Zi8 high definition video camera using an Audio Technica DR-LVX2 external microphone. I am pleased with the picture quality of the Zi8 and with the sound quality form the DR-LVX2 mic. So look forward to more interviews with William as he lives this year out here in the United States with us and his football, soccer, and diving seasons.
