Leading Your Linden Eagles...#25 Merrick Self

For the last two games, Merrick has led his team out of the tunnel, and onto the field. Why? Because it is his flag.

Today, the striped cloth inspiration worked. Our team won 24-18 in double overtime.

Merrick had a big cheering section today, 11 of us. 9 in the stands, dad as a coach, and me on the field as a photog.

To top it off, the weather was delightful. 72F and sunny.

One more game next week.
