The Chowder Bowl

It was the annual Chowder Bowl football game at Providence Country Day School in East Providence R.I.

Seeing the cores under the bench our coach was determined to teach us that apples and football did not mix. He put us scrubs in the game. I was the quarterback who never played. I called the three plays I could remember. No gain. Ugh! Fourth down. I kicked a low line drive that hit one of their players and rolled crazily downfield. It was a live ball we recovered it. Our ball! I still only knew three plays.
The first team trotted back onto the field.We were having too much fun.I think the coach learned a lesson that day.

“Do not answer a fool to his folly, less you be like him.” (Proverbs 26:4)
