(Think Annie when your reading the title...) High school football kicks off everywheres in large fashion tomorrow night. I usually take the litlle ones to a high school game each Friday as a way of giving the other half a break (I'm so thoughtful) and also a way of getting my live football fix. Unfortunately, my local school Clear Creek is a basketball powerhouse. Not that they wouldn't be awesome in your neighborhood it's just that our local feetball scene is pretty competitive.
For instance...if you want your kid to play feetball before junior high you have to get up in the morning around 2am and go wait in line to sign up. Some camp out. All of the little league feetball teams and junior high teams are required to run the same offense as the high school teams so as to be fully versed in the schemes when they hit the high school scene. That's why a high school coaching change is a big deal.
The stadium seats about 12,000 and has artificial turf. The new kind that looks like real grass. Three teams use the stadium...Clear Creek, Clear Lake, and Clear Brook. All are in the same district. So you can have a Thursday, Friday and Saturday night game on the same weekend. The district below us (south) includes powerhouses La Marque and Texas City.
In our playoff scheme we have large 5A and small 5A. Your district champion goes to the large playoff and the runner-up goes to the small 5a playoff. So you have two state champions in 5a. In the district below us, LaMarque beat Texas City (Texas City's only loss) and LaMarque went big and Texas City went small. Both went on to win State Championships. So two teams, half a mile apart, were able to whup the whole rest of the state.
Anyway, it should be fun (at least until Texas City and LaMarque show up on the schedule).
