Your First Football Game

[Solomon]

What's the first high school football game you can remember going to, and what do you remember about the game?

Figured this would make for some fun conversation with some of you old timers.

The first high school football game I attended was actually as a senior in high school at Farragut. No idea who they were playing but it was the 1993 season and my then boyfriend (who is now my husband) was a starting running back so I came to see him. We ended up moving out of state at 19 and moved back three years ago. Now, he coaches RBs at the same high school and I get to watch our sons play for the same school.

I think the first game I remember was McMinn Central vs Walker Valley the first year Walker Valley opened.

South Greene vs Cloudland

I am really not sure who the Oak Ridge Wildcats played or when. I was born in 1963 so it was probably around the 1968 season when one of my older brothers played nose guard for the Big Red ( now we say, the Cardinal and Gray ). My special memory was standing along the 72 steps that go from the field up to the locker rooms. We would slap the Wildcats on their shoulder pads as they climbed the steps. When my brother went past he gave me his chin strap and made sure I saw the blood coming from his broken nose. He was proud of always getting his nose broke during games. He was a tough son of a gun with a crazy streak a mile wide. Now he and his Family live in Hawaii and he is very laid back.

There is nothing like small town pride!

First game I can remember clearly was going to see Alcoa beating Everett 34-13 in 1966 at Alcoa when Albert Davis played.  In another game I never will forget was the time we went to Middlesboro, Kentucky when I played for Maryville and we were walking out of the dressing room through the crowd and their band was also just coming off the field making it even worse. Through a dare from two others on the team I grabbed a majorette from behind and gave her a wedgie and one of our coaches saw me do it and I didn't get to play that night.

That game will always be known as "The Wedgie" to all my team mates.
