Merit #2, Willie #7

 Friday night under the lights is pretty cool.
Merit is crazy about this game.
He loves being part of a team! Team sports are right up this guy's alley. And it has been that way since he was four.

 Merit and Elliot. Elliot's mom is DEAR to me. How fun having these guys together! Elliot is a varsity player, Merit is on JV. But on Friday night the Chiefs had bolted with a quite a lead and Merit got a little varsity playing time! He glanced up at the huge crowd in the stands and said it was quite a moment.

 Willem is LOVING football! One game under their belt and it was a sweet win! Their team is strong!
