My son used to play for the local high school football team. They were really good and I miss it.
I'm not the least bit surprised. High school football is one of the most popular sports in the US.
My sons junior year we got to go play for the state championship. That was the most exciting thing ever.
I've never went to a state championship before - it must have been exhilarating. It must have been just like that back in the late 19th century when football was created.
I'm sure it was. Our whole town showed up in support of our boys. It was so thrilling. I still get teary eyed thinking about my boy playing in that game.
It sounds like you love your sons (and football) very dearly. Did their school have a really good marching band? Good marching bands and good football teams go a hand in hand!
We have a decent marching band. Sadly, the kids are not very nice to kids in the marching band and it turns them away from wanting to be in band.
True. Well what about pep rallies or homecomings? Those often go with high school football as well!
Those are awesome. We had some really big community bonfire pep rallies for our boys. We also got together and decorated the locker rooms for the boys.
Did they ever get to play against any Canadian teams because they were so good? Apparently, football is pretty popular there as well.
