Joel Macias --- Jeannette's little big man

By Colin Dunlap ][ 6:26 p.m. Sunday

You want a kid who has some heart -- meet Jeannette freshman football player Joel Macias.

He plays on the varsity team as a defense back/receiver.

He's 4 feet 7, 75 pounds. Let me run that by you again so you fully grasp it --- Joel Macias is 4 feet 7, 75 pounds.

Again, he is just 75 pounds!

Thanks to my Web friend and super-blogger Dave Kubovcik over at jeannettejayhawksfootball.blogspot.com we have some video of Joel Macias making a hit in Jeannette's scrimmage last week against Seton-LaSalle.

If you root for the underdog, or heck, if you just love all that football stands for, you have to love this video. Enjoy:
