Diesel "In the Shop"

Derek's football season was cut short this year
after he made a tackle and got hit from the side
resulting in a tear of his right ACL
After looking at the MRI, the surgeon said
it looked like the ACL had exploded
(just what every parent wants to hear)
Thank goodness for the skill of Dr Cooley who
fashioned a new ACL out of a piece of Derek's
hamstring. The surgery went well and with
some physical therapy he should be good as new

Having a little fun in Walmart---haven't we all
secretly wanted to drive one of these around?
All was not lost however, at the football banquet
he was awarded the "Hammer" and named
defensive player of the year
The BIG question that remains is---will Diesel be seen
playing in the Bruin Bowl next year?! Stay tuned . . .
