Family Tradition

We packed up and drove down to San Antonio this weekend to see Jack play linebacker in the area all star game and to celebrate his high school graduation. We had some great food thanks to Tricia, and we saw a good game where Jack kicked butt every time he was on the field - including a sack and a blocked punt. We aren't sure where he's going to play his college ball at yet, but we'll be getting to see him play a few more games never the less.

Jack is the last of our cousin generation, but he's maintaining family tradition by playing college sports. Our grandfather lined up for some college snaps at Vanderbilt, and our grandfather's brother, our great-uncle Tom, played football at the University of North Carolina. Their nephew (my mom's cousin, Bobby) played football for Georgia Tech. So, that is 2 generations of college football players, and Jack will be the 3rd! Now with our generation of cousins, Jack joins myself, Jeremy and Matthew in continuing the tradition of college athletes in the Suddarth Family. Most of us have kids of our own, but it will still be many, many years until we discover if any will make their mark as a fourth generation college competitor. Remind that Ransom that it is football not futbol!
