high school football playoff fun

I don't know how many of you get into this...and we didnt get into it til this year when our only kid started high school, but high school football games can be fun.
My hubbie and I had very different experiences when we were high schoolers. He was the guy behind the stands seeing who had the better dope, and I was on the 50 yard line as the tallest dancer in the dance line. So, when our kid started high school and had to be there early for band practice before the games...we just showed up when he needed to be there and stuck around for every game and enjoyed it. What we found was like a neighborhood party, everyone putting out lawn chairs and having a barbeque going with great burgers and dogs before the game, sitting around and talking. Then the game starts and everyone gets into just that. Very fun.
It's a great atmosphere, a 2A school in a 6A town, with a loud and talented band that shows up in sweatshirts and doesn't march but plays awesome music, and a mascot that looks like Sasquatch along with some other high school kids dressed in body paint that walk around and fire everyone up. The parents of all the students stand up and yell on every play like someone having their first sexual experience. It's all so cheesy that it works!
And it worked well all season. The little school that never had a good football team came in second in the district, beat their major rival along the way, had a sophomore QB throw for 3,000 yards, and hosted the first playoff game of the season.
It was...the Demons vs. the Saints. Really...it was! That was the name for each team, cracked us up.
I'll spare you the details but the way it went was...the Demons went ahead fast, the Saints played catchup all night, finally got ahead by 3 late. The Demons scored a touchdown and went ahead by 4 with about a minute and a half left in the game. The Saints were on the move, looking good...and threw one into the hands of a Demon with 50 something seconds left in the game. Game over. Demons beat the Saints.
No good way to end it. It's a let down. The only good thing is that there were a shitload of people (think a circular mass that has a width from the 10 yard line to the 50 at least and solid with people) on the field surrounding the Saints after the loss, and thanking them for the season no one expected them to have. That was golden.

Having officiated high school football for 37 seasons(32 in CNY and 5 here) I can attest to the mania that is
high school football. For some communities, Friday night under the lights is THE place to be.
If you can believe it, most of the officials get psyched up as well as the kids and parents. The most fun I had
was working play-off games in the Syracuse Dome.
Let's hope that the NCAA and NFL leave Friday night to the kids !!

I used to broadcast high school football in northen Indiana 15 years ago. Best thing was getting to know the players and coaches and seeing how much time and effort they put into it, knowing that for the most part they're not doing it for the money. Also, with no television, they do more playing and less standing around.
yeah good times

High school ball is awesome.
My fondest playoff memory is our big game against cross town rival Memorial High in the '77 disctrict semis. Epic battle, man. We're down 13-0 at half but after a killer speech from coach Jacobs we come out flying in the second half. 10 points in 43 seconds. We line up to kick off and the whole place is going nuts. We totally had all the momentum. So I'm on the kickoff coverage unit and I am pumped. I run down on the kickoff and see the returner bobble the ball. He's trying to pick the ball up off the ground right as I go to light him up! Smack! I totally laid him out. Then I'm all "fuck, I'm like numb." I can tell by the roar of the crowd that we totally recovered it inside their ten. Sweet. Then it gets all quiet and I'm like shit, I'm really fucked up. The next thing I know I'm in the ICU down at St Mary's and it's like Wednesday morning. Turns out we did recover the ball! Fucking Sanders missed 2 PATs and we end up losing though. I'm so pissed cause I missed the rest of the game and it turns out I'm paralyzed from the neck down for life. Typing with this straw thing kind of sucks.
But yeah, go check out some HS playoffs!

BIG ups to you, man. Big ups. Most of the pussies here would never understand the WAR that is high school football on friday nights. Especially down here in georgia where all that we DO is fucking football, man. That's it. that's all we do. I'm livin the dream right now. i'm the starting middle linebacker for my team and we came up 3 points short of a playoff birth. But I'm only a junior and have a whole year left to show the rest of the state what i'm made of. I've got a verbal committment in with the one and only GEORGIA BULLDOGS. UGA Bitchers! UGGGGA! I suffered a torn acl in my last game of the year because i was playing BALLS OUT. Coach had us playing zone and the redhawks were stuffing th e middle with the run so i said fuck that and started blitzing the middle like urlacher on roids. It was 3rd and 1 and the qb looked to the sideline and got the nod from his coach. i looked into his eyes and KNEW what the fucker was gonna do. He snapped the ball and I rushed up the middle. He paly actioned it and dropped back to throw to the right side. i've got eagle eyes and i read his face. I also have the ankles of a wildebeast so i stopped dead in my tracks and bolted to the right side. The pass was delivered witih precision but i layed out and tipped the ball with my left hand. Incomplete pass. The bad news was the acl. I was carted off the field and i got a standing O. I looked into the stands and saw my mom, dad and girflried cheering me on. Then I got to the sideline and looked at my coach. I said, "It did everything I could coach." He said, "I know you did, pal. I know you did." We came up short but that was the start of a new beginning for me. I've since been in the gym hitting it HARD and beating down bitches that cross my path just to get ready for the next season. I'm got to be a warrior now. I've got to SACK UP hard!

rack highschool football and playoffs
how could i forgit playing one of the city schools every year(vashon,soldan,sumner) on their field, which was dirt,dead grass, and 5 inch high chalk lines. Beating them silly, then having the local drug thugs threaten us on the sidelines with death, etc. ah hs football
my best moment, almost crippling butler By'note as he returned the KO. He left the game up 14-0, we outscored them 35-0 to end the game. He later went on to star at ohio st.
We had a horrible coach(art hill), we should of won state atleast 2 times, instead we would lose a 7-0 game because of pussy playcalling, and idiot game measures

noone bet highschool action. but because of our gambling(bboking, shooting craps in bathroom, cards in lunchroom,footbal lteasers), the principle had a 20 minute lecture on the intercom about gambling and immediate expulsion for anyone with gambling shit. so we had to stick to sports teasers and game action. Rack knowing the scores, and suckering in fools to bet games that were already over.
i'll bet you $20 i can jump higher than that clock. buwahahah rack that one.

You just tore your ACL, yet you're already in the gym doing:
Legs
Squats 4 sets
Leg Extension 2 sets
Leg Curl 2 sets
Seated/Standing Calve Raises 5 sets total (2 or 3 sets each way)
This troll might have had potential, if its owner wasn’t a total douchebag.

Hey Goober McTubeSpank what the fuck kinda pansy name is tthat? "Goober"?
Yes the reg season ended weeks ago and i have been pounding drugs and pills to keep the pain from interfering with my exercise and lifting routine, you fucking dick. just because you couldn't lift the 40 pound bar past your shriveled up prune patch your wife calls the "great depression" doesn't mean you need to QUESTION my dedication. I have been lifting HARD to get back to the gridioron and to beat pussy turds like you DOWN. I go downtown and walk aroudn just to start fights with sackless dicks like you. I say "Hey, fuckhole, were you just looking at my crank? Huh? Well were you?" When the guy puts his head down and walks away that's when I start beating h im with my bare knuckles.
You want to be next? Book the flight fucko. FUCKING Book it.

Wow, what a great board.
Well, just in case you were wondering, I do have a disability. I am totally happy with the way I was born, very much. I travel to different boards and talk to kids about being proud of what they are. Mm-my mom says that God has a p-plan for everyone. I guess I was plan B. You guys like imp-personations?
How about Dinsdale?
Up and Left, Up and Left. I nail Skanks... And Luther? I'm old I eat metamucil, Lovebuzz sucks.
Thank you very much

Good to see you limpy. People like you inspire me to put in 110% every SINGLE day. These pussies sit behind their monitors and flex their muscle on a keyboard while studs like ME are out there having my muscles felt up by tight assed hotties. My aunt gave me a gift certificate to Abercrombie and Fitch and I'm going to buy some faded jeans and this shirt
there's gonna be a party this weekend that is gonna be OFF THE FUCKIN chain and i'm gonna stick my cock in this hot whore who has been wanting it BAD ever since i got 7 sacks against Lincoln West.

Good one Limpy. Love the OJ jokes.
I remember going to see Naked Gun in the movie theater. Great Flick. Classic, man classic. After the show ended I go to leave and my battery is low. The incline was too much for the amount of juice left so I was fucking stuck in there. Good thing I liked that movie cause I watched it like 4 times in a row. I'm pretty sure I pissed myself sometime during those 7 hours too, but one cool thing about being paralyzed is you have no idea one way or the other. That and you don't have to clean it up cause, well you are not capable of doing that.
Hey, it beats sitting at home looking at the remote control wishing you could push the buttons.

And how about that Toddowen character? You know Toddowen. He's all like Co-cop-cops sucks. I hate Myself, I hate myself. Click. Click. Why can't I afford a real gun.
Th-Thank you very much.
