Nothing like game day in the playoffs!! Just caught up on the thread and see a lot of talk about hoping Hatfield is back in the backfield. I want to take a moment and give some recognition to my favorite player on this team, Mr. Trenity Carr.

Hatfield may be a bowling ball, Johnson may be explosive but Trenity is the workhorse of this Pirate team, the TD machine! His stat line at the moment 139 carries (leads team), 786 yrds (2nd), 20 TD (leads team).

What many outside Belfry do not know is that Trenity has struggled with Type 1 Diabetes since he was a very young child. As a father to a Type 1 Diabetic and brother to a Type 1 diabetic whose life was claimed by the disease I have the utmost respect for what this young man has done. If you have never had experience with Type 1 Diabetes it is a disease that can impact you mentally and physically. Major props to Mr. Carr for what he has accomplished this year.

My son got to see Trenity play in Knoxville earlier this year. It was a great experience for him all around, but the most important thing was this little 8 year old boy was able to see the Diabetes is not who he is, does not control what he can do, it's just something extra he has to deal with.
