Football and the weekend

I had the pure pleasure (sarcasm) of watching Windsor play Bethlehem Christian on Friday night and not only did I get my feet wet (literally) I got to see a full three hours and fifteen minutes of high school football. The first quarter alone lasted two days.
There were several reasons why a games lasts so long. Maybe both teams committed a lot of penalties (expected) because it was the first week of the season. Maybe one team(Bethlehem) ran the spread and threw the ball every play and completed less than half the passes. I can honestly say I have never seen so many bubble screens in my life. Message to teams playing Windsor: run the bubbler screen because Bethlehem had several big gains off of it.
The other reason the game lasted so long was that because Windsor simply is not used to winning. They were up 41-7 in the third quarter and were playing starters for the entire game. They were throwing the ball late in the fourth quarter, and the feel on the sideline was that it was a one possession game. Josh Brooks, the best player on the field, was dying from cramps,  and he continued to get sent back in. The starting quarterback also played both ways for the entire game and was cramping by the end of it.
Cramping was a major issue for Windsor, with at least six players suffering, and some as early as the first half. I did not see any Bethlehem guys cramping.
Jimmy Watts has put together a talented team for sure, and they are going to win their fair share of games. I think the kids want to play for him and he does a great job. I would like to see him enjoy an easy win a little earlier though and maybe play some subs at the skill positions. But really, its just my opinion, and Coach could prob care less about my opinion.
The trip to Windsor is always enjoyable and who else had prime rib sandwiches in the concession stand. It really is an awesome place to go. The announcer calls it the best concession stand in the GISA. Well I would say its the best concession stand in Middle Georgia.
I believe my picks went pretty good this weekend. I went either 9-1 or 10-0, and I am in it to win it. Things really get started this week though with tons of good football games starting Thursday night with Howard and FPD, a game I may actually pay to see.
I will not be covering a game this Friday because I am moving Hayden to Greensboro. But I will definitely pick up the Telegraph on Saturday to see what happened.
Yes high school football is here
