He is not only a good football player, he is also a very friendly and approchable young man. Just think, we should have him for at least 3 more years. Imagine the possibilities!!!

If Grant is at the banquet I will certainally attend and support him. The stadium (Pizza Hut Park) is less than 3 miles from my house.
