FAYETTEVILLE — Brad Wagner looks back these days and has a good laugh when remembering how his son, Dalton, began his football career.
Dalton had a strong desire early in life to follow in the footsteps of his older brother, Bryce, and join forces with him in a youth football league. But there was one key issue.
He was only 5 years old, a bit too young at the time to be able to put on a helmet and shoulder pads and play against the area kids. By rule, he had wait to get his first taste of competitive football.
