Why I love HS Football

[TheCommissioner]

So wow, we now enter the final week of the regular season of this great football season. For some of us, our favorite team is primed for a playoff run, and there are those of us who are not as fortunate, however I challenge every fan to pay homage to this great sport we all love and list something we love about HS football, I am going to get the ball rolling with my list of why I love HS Football...........

 

- It's the feeling of closing my eyes with the wind in my face hearing the band take the field

 

- It's the feeling of embracing fellow Oakland fans as the Patriots capped amazing turnarounds in 1998 and 2008, winning state championships

 

- It's the feeling of Oakland players coming back to school on their bus, only to be greeted by a caravan of car horns in celebration of their state championship

 

-Its the feeling of fellowship with strangers and friends, all congregating to honor the sport we love

 

- It's seeing a new generation of players seeing for themselves what it takes to not only be successful on the field, but to be successful of it as well: team work, discipline, hard work, and faith in each other.

 

- It's seeing these players step onto the field as boys, and leave the field as men

 

- It's seeing people come from all walks of life, all in support of the hometown team

 

- It's the feeling of a huge win over a crosstown rival

 

- It's the feeling of community, even for those of us that are now just there as alumni or fans

 

- It's the feeling that is no purer form of sport than High School Football. In college you play for the right to get drafted and in the pros you play for that big payday

 

- It's the feeling of hearing those pads pop after a whole summer of waiting.

 

- It's the feeling of making a drive to a championship

 

- It's the feeling of being blessed that we have so many men willing to sacrifice time with their family to teach a game to young men that they all love on the field, and help to mold these boys into men off the field.

 

- It's the feeling of having such a great place like coacht.com, that we can all discuss and have fun talking about this great sport.

 

Fellow CoachT posters, the floor is now yours. What in your mind makes this such a great sport?

I have always said that HS football is the purest form of the sport. It is played for the love of the game and community pride.

Football is the greatest of games and high school is the purest form. I'm hyped for the playoffs!!!

Nailed it. Nothing beats the Friday Night Lights.

 

What if you could relive all of this- just for one more game?

My sentiments exactly. We are starting down the slippery slope of college football on Friday.
