Boys of Fall

It seems like yesterday that Santa brought my son Ryan his first real football helmet and set of shoulder pads. He was three years old and the shoulder pads were bigger than he was. After we got everything on him and properly adjusted, he promptly fell over and couldn’t get back up. He spun around on the floor like a June bug. Don’t tell him, but we laughed until we cried.

Ryan is now 16 and we have to look up to him because he stands 6 feet 2 inches tall! He is a junior in high school and playing on the Varsity Football team at Lexington High School. My boy of fall is in the midst of two-a-days, scrimmages, and preparing for the season opener on August 26th against Batesburg-Leesville High School.

I love that he and his dad share a love of football. I mean they LOVE this sport. They love talking about it. They love watching it. They love recounting every game since rec football. They love the camaraderie. They love banging heads and talking trash. They love everything associated with it. They even love talking about uniforms, helmets, and cleats. Over the years, they have spent countless hours at Todd & Moore in the team department looking at equipment, apparel, and cleats. Often buying, but often just looking.

I love that about Todd & Moore. We are a destination for parents and children to come and get fitted for all things needed for football. We have it all, the pants and pad sets, practice jerseys, shoulder pads, helmets, mouthpieces, cleats and every piece of protective equipment you can think of. We also have the experience and expertise to properly fit your child. That’s important for your child and it’s important to us.

We carry all the brands you’ve come to know and trust…Under Armour, Nike, Adidas, Russell Athletic, Champro, Schutt, and Adams to help keep my boy of fall and yours safe, protected, and ready to perform at their very best. What we don’t have in stock, we will gladly custom order.

To paraphrase Kenny Chesney’s The Boys of Fall…
“In little towns like ours, that’s all we’ve got
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops
The ole’ ball coaches on the landing will always think they know it all
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall”

I love small towns. I love high school football in small towns. I love my boy and all the boys of fall.

Doing our part to protect the boys of fall,

Sales Associate & Buyer

P.S. I’m pretty sure Santa shops at Todd & Moore!
