Leatherneck, thanks. Playing during the Eicher years, I gotta say I sure didn't hear the cannon enough.

 

Always tried to explain the feeling of walking out onto the field to my college teammates; and they didn't get it at all. But playing ball in Ohio, none of them knew who HHS was. It's funny though, alot of those guys are coaches throughout OH now and know exactly who we are and call me and ask how we do what we do. A coach I do business with in East Central OH even asked me to help organize thier junior football league because he had heard such good things about FTJFL.

 

The real 12th man at Highlands isn't that cannon but the tradition. Walking into the field seeing the state titles. The field feeling like it could close in on you. Granted the cannon is part of the tradition, but alot of teams are already besides themselves by the time the cannon goes off. Heck I remember a scrimmage against Harrison County and the coaches were telling their players that the birthplace of football in KY was right under their feet.

 

The cannon is just the olive in the martini.

We all know LN married over his head, but nobody ever accused you of being a ROCKET SURGEON!

If I remember right, they had to use the bucket A LOT. What ever they packed it with tended to smolder on the field.

Somebodys mission Friday needs to be to get a pic of the Cannon, in its modern day form.

Here's a picture of it taken just the other day.

 

People are usually surprised at how small it looks in real life compared to the pictures they see. I guess it's all in how you load it.

I love the hats on those cats. Maybe Boom could break out an old vintage lid to bring back some memories.

You know 72, on further review of the cannon pic, I don't think that is my in-law. I'm thinking that this is a very early pic and that may be "Doc".
