So Henry has this friend Max. He is awesome. They have known each other since 1st grade and share an interest in all things sports. Max's dad works for our local paper and asked Henry a while ago if he would interested in being The Guest in the Pigskin Picks section - you know, where all the local sports guys pick games, from high school to the NFL. Henry said, ''sure", and left it at that.
Turns out he was serious. So Henry, random 6th grade sports fan gomer at Cedar Ridge Middle School, was in the newspaper last week.
It was kind of a week of upsets and so I doubt he did too well, although I haven't done the math to check his percentage. He had fun, though, and a couple of people from school and church recognized him from the article.
Could this be the beginning of a career in sports journalism? According to Henry, only if his contract with the Yankees falls through.
