The rain came and went on Sunday, providing a beautiful afternoon for some football! Yet what truly makes football beautiful isn’t the game itself, but the people that partake in it. People such as Juanita Flores who came out to Ridgeview High School to see her grandsons play for the 6u and 10u Woodland Acre Wolverines.\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“This is such a great atmosphere to see the\u00a0kids running around and having a good time. I stay smiling because everyday is a great day for me. With so much going on around us I realize it could be a lot worse.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ms Flores has a lot to smile about. Not only do her grandkids play on the teams, but she also has two sons that coach the teams. One of her sons Kyle, coaches 8u, and Kris Carabello, coaches the 6u Wolverines. “I’ve been coaching for about three years now. I just love the kids, teaching the kids,watching them come out here and just excel, do their job and win. I do it for the kids”-Carabello<\/p>\n

Coach Carabello’s son Eden is only five years old but is one of the toughest players on the team. He takes after his father who played High School football at Sandalwood, and was one of the toughest players on their 1995 state runner up team. ” I learned so much being on that team, being around so many great coaches and so many great players. I’m able to share these moments with my son, but also translate what I learned to these kids and prepare them for 8u then 10u and build them, and build them and build them”.<\/p>\n
