Right before football season started in the summer of 2022, Nick's junior year, Nick made the decision not to play football. I wouldn't say it was that hard of a decision for him. His heart has always been with fishing. His friends, especially his best friend, Chase (who has his foot on Nick in this picture) were totally supportive of his decision. They were sad they wouldn't play their last few years of high school together but understood Nick's decision. The football players are having a great season. This picture was taken yesterday at the play off game (which they won!). Just as the boys were supportive of Nick's decision not to play football, Nick is supportive of his boys also. He was their water boy for the game. I asked Nick the other night if he had any regrets about not playing football. He didn't hesitate with a strong No. He has loved fishing competitively these last two years. Neither of us could have predicted how successful our new fishing team would be. It's opened doors of opportunity for Nick and I have no doubt Nick will continue to coach and mentor anglers after graduation. As far as football goes, the boys advance to their second round of play offs next weekend. Best of luck to them! It's wonderful to see them win.
