Friday Night Lights

On almost any fall Friday night in almost any town across America, there are thousands and thousands of families all going through exactly the same ritual. It’s high school football! Kids playing their hearts out, parents cheering, the band performing, cheerleaders and dancers strutting....it’s what we all do! (why am I thinking about high school football? Because this radio station has covered local football games for well over 25 years, and it NEVER gets boring.) If you haven’t gone to a high school game in a while, do yourself a favor. Buy a ticket and go. You will be amazed at how much fun it is (even when you don’t have a kid in the system). And when that national anthem is sung on the field and the flags are raised, look around......what you see IS what America is all about.
