You want me to block WHO?!?!?!?!

Connor is playing football this year for the first time. The season doesn't actually start until next week, but we've had a couple of scrimmage games. Our team has a weight limit of 125lbs and an age limit of 12. The teams we've played so far have no weight limits. Now, keep in mind that although Connor is playing on the 125lb team, he only weighs 80lbs (soaking wet and fully clothed...on a good day). One of the guys he was lined up against today looked to be around 5'10" and weighed about 140lbs. The second guy he lined up against weighed 180!!!!! Yes, he outweighed Connor by 100 pounds! This kid was bigger than David. I was a nervous wreck, but he made it through the entire game. All I can say is "Good For Him!" I would have been scared to death.
