They still play dodge ball here, it hasnt been outlawed due to fear of someone getting hurt or because its competitive and ... well, that could make kids feel all ... I dont even know what the arguement is against competition.
Anyway, He has been the last one left standing on a couple occassions now, down to where there is him alone on his side and as many as six remaining on the other! They have a rule about if you hit someone with the ball and it bounces off and hits another player, theyre both out! Hes done that a couple times too, as well as catching the ball thrown at him and getting the ball thrower out!
So, to Cole, congratulations!!!
Also, he is expanding the number of instruments he plays and is beginning the saxaphone now too. He is almost a straight A student, is already in a couple honors classes and is recommended for more next year. He has done well enough in science and algebra as a freshman, he has been tutoring other students off and on after school!
My boy, he's so much like me at times I wanna strangle him, then he goes and does all this stuff, totally redeeming himself!!!
