Early Years
Damon Allen started playing football by the age of six for Valencia Park Pop Warner in San Diego. Damon played safety on defense and helped bring his team to the championship game in the Mighty-Mites league only to lose.
In the Junior Peewee league, Damon again made it to the championships and this time his team won. This marked his first year as a quarterback. Damon became a force to be reckoned with, leading his team to two undefeated seasons, and winning the Junior Peewee league title for three years in a row.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or years:
“They circumcised women, little girls, in Jesus’s time. Did he know? Did the subject anger or embarrass him? Did the early church erase the record? Jesus himself was circumcised; perhaps he thought only the cutting done to him was done to women, and therefore, since he survived, it was all right.”
—Alice Walker (b. 1944)
“After the planet becomes theirs, many millions of years will have to pass before a beetle particularly loved by God, at the end of its calculations will find written on a sheet of paper in letters of fire that energy is equal to the mass multiplied by the square of the velocity of light. The new kings of the world will live tranquilly for a long time, confining themselves to devouring each other and being parasites among each other on a cottage industry scale.”
—Primo Levi (1919–1987)
