We played both sides of the ball all through HS.

So did I. I played WR on offense, CB on defense, was the gunner on kick off, Returned punts. We dressed out 22 players my senior year.

What did that get me? When I went in the corps my recruiter had to give me a physical fitness evaluation. I had to run 3 miles. He drove me out to a line they had painted on the road and said "It's 3 miles back to the recruiters office", started a stopwatch and drove back. I was standing in front of his desk in 15 minutes 57 seconds. He accused me of getting a ride. I said "I'll do it again right now just as fast!" and I could have. I ran for 60 minutes straight every football game.

The old saying about building character is not a lie.

“The old saying about building character is not a lie.”

You got that right.
