I was at the game as well, Haley. Talk about the players from Twiggs, tell me “What part did/do the officials play in maintaining control of the game and the players. There was lots of trash talking, overly rough play and lots of contact after the whistles. If the officials had been doing their jobs may, just maybe, none of the events would have taken place. NO CONTROL BY THE OFFICIALS IS THE MAIN REASON FOR “ALL THE BAD BLOOD”!

To relate to your point about high school football: Back in my high school days, football ruled the school– and sports. (Basketball and baseball drew little attention.) We also had very definite cliques, complete with parking lot territory and lunch room turf. As a drama geek, going to games was out of the question…. but I always secretly held a great admiration for our football coach, the legendary Billy Henderson of the Clarke Central Gladiators. Even a drama geek could recognize that Coach Henderson put his heart and soul into the program, and it wasn’t just for wins on the scoreboard.

Wow. It almost sounds silly to say, but I’m not sure brain surgeons can ever be paid enough for what they do.

The sounds of Georgia Bulldogs football– the band practicing, the stadium roar, fraternity/sorority row’s all weekend partying– provided the soundtrack of my growing up years. As a townie theatre kid, I thought I hated it. Turns out, when I moved away from Athens, I couldn’t do without the magical voice of Larry Munson calling the games! What I thought I was gladly leaving behind actually became a nice way to bring back warm feelings of “home.” Even now, there’s something comforting about a football game playing in the background.
