I haven't checked the site in a couple of days, so I'm not sure what happened over in the other thread. Reading over a couple of posts I sort of got the overall idea. This has been a frustrating season in a lot of ways, a 5-5 regular season after all the talk of "dominating 3a" after our showing in 4a, a quarterback dispute, and the end of the well documented streak.
Every team at any level has fans that tend to take things to the extreme. An interception means a QB cannot throw the football, a fumble means a HB shouldn't carry the ball again, a loss means the season is over, etc. That is just the way it is. Blue Devil fans are no exception, especially with the recent success of the White House High School football program. This definitely has been shown with the emergence of online message boards, people get frustrated and things get said that maybe shouldn't be said and are shown to the entire state in writing. Maybe there should be more thinking involved before posting something on here. You represent White House, maybe only in a small way, but every time you speak people read it and say, "Look what White House is saying"... Just something to ponder.
With all of that frustration that could be expressed, there should be praise. This team has overcame adversity to get to where they are. No, record wise they're not one of the best White House teams who ever stepped foot on the field. But guess what? They're still playing in Week 12. We have seen the Blue Devil record book re-written by Ricky Ladd and we've got to see a group of football players grow as men. That's something to be proud of. We love ya, boys.
Two towns with a lot of pride for their teams, obviously. This is what it is all about. White House and Greenbrier. Two teams with a lot of class putting it all on the line for the simple goal of just playing next week.
Good luck Greenbrier, this should be a great game!
LET's GO DEVILS!
