Barrow Diary: Grateful to be home; ready to play
Ehret senior linebacker Lamin Barrow and HSGametime.com will work together this fall to bring you and inside look at what a player goes through during the season. Barrow, the No. 7 player in the state according to HSGametime.com, will try to help guide the Patriots to the Class 5A state finals a year after advancing to the semifinals. Barrow is being recruited by Kansas State, Ole Miss and other Football Bowl Subdivision schools.
First off, I just want to say that me and my team are grateful just to even be back home and be able to practice again.
I think everybody's real excited about going out to Independence and getting a full four quarter game in. We were looking forward to playing St. Paul's first, but that game had to be canceled. We played the jamboree the day before my family and I evacuated in a good game against Helen Cox. We came up short, but I believe if we had two more quarters, we would have come out on top.(Click for rest of diary entry)

I had just received an official scholarship from Kansas State the day before the game, so to close out the week with a new offer and a win would have been great. That loss disappointed me a little even though it doesn't go on our record because that's another west bank team and it just feels good to win those types of games in front of your neighborhood.
I feel that I played an OK game but not great. I had to leave the game in the second quarter because of leg cramps. I've never cramped up in a game before, but I was out sick with a stomach virus earlier that week so I had lost about five pounds of fluid. So that was the cause of that.
But now, I'm good. My family is good. My coaches and team are good and ready to get our season rollin' this Friday.
