SIX SHORT DAYS

Friday August 24th, 2012

How long has it been since you went to the football stadium and watched a Six-Man football game? Well, that is too long. Meeting family and friends, going to the concession stand for your favorite items, reading over your program, standing for the school song and the national anthem, cheering at the opening kickoff, then settleing in for the game are all things I look forward to.

It is just SIX days away. Six days until the air is filled with footballs at Kick Off Classics around the state. Exciting stuff indeed! We then can talk about real football results because real games will have been played. Two-a-days will be in the rear view mirror along with scrimmages both of which are necessary evils to prepare teams for the upcoming season.

The kids on the teams all over the state have worked hard in preparing to give it their best shot. Are you ready for some football? Are you ready to support your team by attending your favorite teams game? Go out there as a fan an enjoy whatever your team has to offer and be part of making a memory. It will all be over again all too soon.

Speaking of Kick Off Classics there are some great ones you can attend. The problem for me is deciding where to go. Most folks consider the Hico Six-Man Super Saturday as the Holy Grail. It is in its 9th year. The folks at Jayton put on a great one as well and they too are in their 9th year of the Jayton Gridiron Classic. McCamey is offering the 3rd Annual West Texas 6-Man Shootout. Zephyr will hold one as well at their great facility and Happy is hosting their 1st Annual event.So now you know where the "classics" are, what teams are involved and how much does it cost?
