Everyday ? the same thing. Run hard, complete unbelievable passes, and try not to let the scorching heat get to your head. Of course, all of this is easy if running down a man on foot brings a smile to your face.
For senior Daniel Kaiser, football represents more than just a game. With a father in law enforcement, Kaiser not only plays defense on the field, but also intends to make it his life’s profession.
Daniel, the younger of his two brothers Bryan, ?07, and Andrew, ?05, carries the responsibility and willingness to lead, despite the possibility of injury.
With a legacy comparable to that of Parlier on Aug. 24 afforded the Eagle?s defense a huge highlight even though no official score was tallied.
?We held Parlier at the one yard line for a full set of downs,? Kaiser said. ?It was a huge lift to our team to stop their offense from gaining the important one yard.?
While high school football offers the constructive footing to build itself into a college career, post-graduate positions remain harder to grasp due to the broad spectrum of competitors available.
With only a year away from college, Kaiser remains optimistic and open towards the idea of playing college football.
?If nowhere else, [I?ll try] U.S. Marshall or something involving law enforcement,? Kaiser said. ?I want to leave something behind that will last and be remembered when I?m gone, and fighting crime is the best way I know how.?
The Eagles first season game will be held at Clark Intermediate Stadium, 902 Fifth street, in Clovis on Aug. 31. The cost is $6 for adults, $4 for seniors, and $2 for students. Fresno Christian Junior High and High School students are admitted free with a ticket they may obtain in the offices on Friday.
