Football 202

This annual event - for the graduates for the introductory Football 101 program - took place on Sunday July 6th at the Surrey practice field.
About 40 woman attended the event which was staffed by a number of Lions players including Jarius Jackson, Buck Pierce, Jason Pottinger, Jason Clermont, Ian Smart, Paul McCallum, Jason Jimenez and Sherko Haji-Rasouli. Former Leo Jamie 'I may be old but I can still kick your ass' Taras was the master of ceremonies.
As it turned out this would be a profound day of sadness for the Lions organization but the players were not informed until after the event so the spirits were high and all participants enjoyed a workout that included lessons in throwing, catching, running, linebacking, blocking, and kicking field goals.
I was rather steamed at having to cover an event featuring 40 woman but sometimes you have to take one for the team.

So were you the guy on the sidelines that Jarious wanted me to throw the ball towards for my out route? Sure looked like you!
