Friday Night Football Begins Soon! Are you ready? Come on
y’all, break out the pom-poms and shakers, and go support your local high
school team, even if you don’t personally know one player!
As you might guess, I’m a strong advocate of supporting the hometown
teams. After all, high school football is not only as exciting as some college
teams but what a way to stretch your entertainment dollars! Where else is the
action so packed for so little cost? So, hop-on up to your favorite nesting
site in the bleachers and get ready to cheer! Don’t forget to pass the hot dogs!
There’s honestly nothing quite as savory as biting into a big
juicy hot dog in the stands and rooting for the home team on a cool fall
evening! Especially for those of you who have sons participating on Friday
nights, I imagine many of you are wondering if it’s all worth it. All the
blood, sweat, and anguish you’ve seen your son go through, not to mention the
parents’ booster club fees. (It takes a lot to run high school football
programs.)
The players have practiced through the miserable heat. All
summer long, they’ve been faithful to their best love in the entire world ~ the
weight room! They’ve done so many reps by now they can execute and perform them
in their sleep! The players are ready. The coaches are ready. The cheerleaders
are ready. The fans are pumped. But, what about the mamas of seniors? Are they
ready? Are they ready to watch their sons play the last season of football?
I’ve been in your shoes, assuming you wear high heels, and I
know what it’s like to see the last high school season slip away right before
your eyes. Of course, we want our sons to go on with their lives, attend
college, build their own careers, live productively, and not be a bunch of
bums. But, I’ll tell you right now, I didn’t want to see those high school years
end. No sir, not this mama! Many mamas, I guess, can’t wait for their kids to
get out of the house and leave for college. Well, that wasn’t me!
High school football is the last stop for the games’
innocence. Once a player graduates and leaves the ole alma mater for another
field, their lives change completely. And so does yours. Some purdy big
surprises are on the horizon once your son leaves your nest. Some of which have nothing to do with football at
all. College football really is a whole new ball game on many levels.
But as for right now, if your son is playing high school
football, I’d love to hear from you! Join me for a round of braggin rights and
let me know about your stand-out player in the comments. Tell us the name of your son, his position, his school, and his stats - and anything else about his football career you wish to share. If we get several, we may post some of the comments in a later post.
We’ll come back to the question of
whether or not mamas are ready to send sons off, the conflicting emotions and what some of your
suggestions are on how to cope with this last senior season.
Let’s get ready for some FOOTBALL! GO TEAM!
