Norton Sports Network report

On Sunday, Oct. 5, at about 2:30 p.m., #17 Levi caught a pass and, despite the efforts of several defenders, ran it in for a touchdown. His first touchdown ever in a league game.

This was not a thing of eternal importance, I know, and sometime the joy will fade. But I will forever remember my son's face as he scanned the crowd of parents and found me after the game. A shared smile after the accomplishment of a long-awaited dream goes a long way.
