Meanwhile, Sanger kept the pedal to the metal and Smart hit Lewis for a 59-yard screen pass for a score where Lewis used his 4.4 speed to cap off a 3-play, 65yard drive that only took 0:35 seconds. Sanger also scored later in the second on a more traditional 11-play drive capped off by a 5 -yard touchdown from Smart to Kollin Shumate. Sanger entered the halftime locker room with a 35-17 lead. The second half saw the larger school manhandle Howe on both sides of the ball for the most part. Sanger opened with the ball and scored 49 seconds later on Smart’s second touchdown pass to Shumate in the exact same location to end the first half. That gave Sanger a 42-17 lead with 11:11 remaining in the third. The Bulldogs were forced to punt each possession in the second half apart from one scoring drive. Howe did not turn the ball over in the game but did commit 12 penalties which hurt the Dogs in several drives.

Q: My two young teens are constantly begging me to buy them clothes. It’s become highly annoying. After reading John your book on Rosemond teenagers, I’ve decided to stop buying them any clothing and give them each an $750 annual clothing allowance. Should I give them the whole amount at once or give it to them on a monthly basis? A: Great idea! However, I don’t think an annual clothing allowance of $750 is a realistic amount for children who are outgrowing their clothes every six months to a year. If their clothing allowance is insufficient, then the whining is only going to get worse, and your plan is likely to blow up in your face. Give each of your kids a monthly clothing stipend that is sufficient to purchase a certain amount of discretionary clothing. I generally recommend between $75 and $100. Under the plan, you would continue to purchase necessary clothes (e.g., to replace items that no longer fit), but you would spend only a minimum amount in each case. For example, if one of them requires a new winter jacket, that is your responsibility. If she doesn’t like the jacket you’re willing to buy, then you would give him that same amount in cash and he would use his allow-
ance to make up the difference in price. If he simply wanted an article of clothing that is nice but unnecessary, that would be his responsibility entirely. The most efficient way to do this is to set up a checking account for each child at your bank. As long as you have good credit, the account doesn’t have overdraft protection, and you are willing to back it, most banks are willing to do this. You deposit the child’s monthly allowance in her account at the beginning of the month and he manages the account from there. In the event of a bounced check, the bank and merchant fines as well as what the merchant is owed come off the top of the following month’s allowance. This plan teaches teens how to budget money and manage a checking account. Better still, it also teaches them to curtail their spending impulses, plan ahead, and save for the proverbial rainy day. It’s a great way to prepare a youngster for the larger fiscal responsibilities of adulthood. Family psychologist John Rosemond: johnrosemond.com, parent guru.com.
