I never went to a football game while I was in high school. In fact, I went to my first high school football game three years after I graduated. And that was 10 years ago.
I was invited by my brother-in-law to attend a special play-off game between the Freedom High School Patriots and the Liberty High School Hurricanes this afternoon. I was interested in this game because I spent my freshman and sophomore year at Freedom. When we moved across town, I finished my schooling at Liberty.
Ever since I could remember Freedom and Liberty were always rivals.
The game was held at the school district stadium, which is on the Liberty High School grounds. Although I was rooting for Liberty, but a tiny little piece of me was also glad Freedom made it far. Liberty started off slow, but got their poise back to win the game 28-14. Now Liberty is one step away from the PA state finals.

See, I was in band in high school, so I had to attend. Ah yes the freezing damp of a late Washington fall. What’s funny is I never actually understood how the sport worked until I got married and my husband explained it to me.
