Casino del Sol All-Star Game Recap by Drew Zamora

By Drew Zamora
 
This will unfortunately be my final blog and recap from my time spent at the Casino Del Sol All Star Game.  The game itself had an NFL type speed and execution behind it.  Coming off the field i was very pleased with my performance.  I really got a hold of a couple punts, two touchbacks on kickoffs, and 3/3 on PATs.  My feelings after the game were a mixture of relief, happiness, and a bit of sadness knowing the week was coming to an end.  The bitter sweet emotions came back again, the same emotions I felt after my last NAU game when I had to take off the pads for the last time as Lumberjack.  I am optimistic though that this will not be the last football game of my career and I look forward to suiting up again for another team soon, wherever it may be! 

I was overwhelmed with text messages, calls, and Facebook posts after the game from so many friends and family.  It put a smile on my face and i want to thank everyone who watched and followed me Monday night!  Brian agrees with me that we want to start a tradition of having NAU players represented at this game every year!!

I am so glad to have had the opportunity to go through this experience with Brian.  Getting to hang out and be on the field with him again really made this week one i will always remember.  It seems like just yesterday Brian and I were in our two bedroom apartment in Flagstaff together hanging out, playing FIFA, and  sitting in the living room talking about our football plans and both of our goals in trying to make it further.  He is a great person who works harder then anyone out there! Who knows maybe somewhere down the road I will get to suit up the pads with him again!

The Casino Del Sol All Star game staff did such a great job putting on the event and I am so happy to have got to know everyone involved.  I am back to the grind here in Tempe and even had a workout last night in the weight room!  Thanks to everyone who read the blog and followed me this past week.  I am taking away from this game a lot of memories, experience, and new friends.  Best of luck to my NAU football teammates as they are heading into the off-season.  Work hard boys and put everything you've got into this time you have, leave no regrets, and i expect big things from all of you next fall!  Thank you Steve Shaff for the support throughout my career at NAU, the great articles you wrote, and everything you have done for Brian and I this past week.  I'm officially signing off....ROLL JACKS!!
