This year for the first time the Mesa Public Schools district decided to split up the grade levels like most other districts in the state and country.
Starting this year grades K - 6th attend elementary school, 7th & 8th attending junior high, and 9th -12th attend high school.
Because of this the junior highs who would have Varsity Teams and sports don't and instead save that for high school only. But just because of this doesn't mean the 7th & 8th graders can't participate in sports for their schools but it doesn't mean it's all the sports or main stream sports that most high schools have.
Because football is a big high school sport no matter what part you take in it the junior highs decided to continue this sport but only as flag football and the Ducky is part of the team!!
The game started about five minutes early so we were late and sadly Konner twisted his ankle in one of the three plays we missed and the coach didn't want it to get worse so he couldn't play the next week (since the season is only five or six games!) so I didn't get to see him in action!
But you know me and that didn't even come close to stopping me from taking some pictures to share of the Ducky and to make it easier to spot him, he is the number 18!
I do really like this picture of him!
Ducky talking to his best friend Alec who is also on the team with him!
Lastly because I love to take pictures and Ducky is a good sport and use to it and picture of us two together!!
His team has been doing great this year so be ready to see other games and more pictures!
