Football. Nothing invokes fall in quite the way that football does. It spans that special place between summer and fall. It involves ridiculous food, outrageous pageantry, silly rivalry, and of course, is just plain fun.
Sure, we can watch on the flat screen or tune in via the internet. However, our local high school and colleges are hard at work as well. We may not be able to get the tickets to the game of our dreams, but we can go watch our local athletes fulfilling their dreams playing a game they love.
Football Is an honest game. It’s true to life . It’s a game about sharing. Football is a team game. So is life.
Local Student Athletes Take the Field
We all know the “big” guys. OSU, Michigan, Notre Dame. They certainly play great football to much fanfare and large TV audiences.
In the vicinity of these stars of student football orbit teams that are providing amazing sports that, for all intents and purposes, weigh on their athletes, their families, and their communities with the same amount of gravitas as the big teams.
These local warriors and their fans are waging battles that thrill and and excite. These weekly skirmishes are cause for immense celebration and, at times, great heartbreak. They represent the best our students have to offer.
And they are right in our back yards.
