Meet the Grantland Rice of freshman high school football: "On a glorious, sun-splashed morning at MacArthur High School on Saturday, a scattering of dads stood adjacent to the football field and watched our freshman sons collide, snap after snap, in a cacophony of collisions, grunts and whistles ... As the clock bled away on the game, the closing contest of the season, one father leaned close with his assessment. 'It is,' he said, 'the end of the innocence.'" [ My San Antonio]
