Eddie Royal, a former student with whom I worked at Westfield High School, was just drafted by the Denver Broncos last weekend!!! Congratulations Eddie! I absolutely adore this guy! He took the WHS team to State in 2003/04 and they WON! Then he went on to play first string at Virginia Tech as a Wide Receiver and Punt Returner. I was his high school counselor, so he and I worked closely together on the 
NCAA process and his transition from high school to college. In the process we became good friends and have remained in touch. An amazing player and a good guy! He'd probably laugh at this to read it because he knows I haven't always watched the games... oh yeah, and know little about football! Hmm...I wonder if I'll ever get free Broncos tickets!?!...could be instrumental in curing me of my football ignorance... Eddie?Here we are together after his graduation from high school in 2004.
GO BRONCOS!
