Luke had his football banquet this last week and if winning the championship your first year on the team is not good enough Luke's brush with greatness made the banquet the cherry on his sundae.
This past Friday Pete took Luke to the Radisson in Eastlake to attend his football banquet. Luke got another trophy, this time with his name on it, and a gift from the coaches. Luke enjoyed the meal and really liked to see his friends. They had a "really boring" speaker according to Luke that went on forever but they also had a speaker Luke liked.
The speaker was there to talk to the kids about having fun and told them that when he was a kid after football he could not talk about the game except to say if he had fun or not. His parents taught him that football is fun and that all other things, family, school and friends come first and football is meant to be fun. He told them that if they did not say they were having fun they may as well not play.
It turned out this speaker was Isaac Byrd the former NFL player from the Tennessee Titans and Carolina Panthers. Luke was one of the few kids who asked Isaac for an autograph after his speech. On his way out Pete and Luke saw Isaac and Luke asked if he could take a picture with him. According to Pete Isaac was all about the kids ad jumped at the chance.
Pete took one photo which was a great memory for Luke but then Isaac did something that Luke did not expect nor did Pete. He took off his Superbowl ring an put it on Luke! We thought we would share these photos with you because it was the perfect ending to Luke's season.
For those of you we won't see over the holiday have a great Thanksgiving and remember there are always things to be thankful for!! This blog reminds me that for me it is my family:)
