Nelson's crowds were pretty good back in the day. It's been 12 or 13 years since I played. The football program has taken a backseat to the Pep section "the caution crew." Ironic, considering they don't have much to cheer about.

The winner shall be 35 Nelly 14

Could be a wet tomarrow night. What kind of condiotion is the NC field in and Who does the wet weather favor?

I'm sure it's pretty soggy — we've gotten a lot of rain this week. And with SC's passing offense, I bet NC is in no hurry for the field to dry up. I would look for NC's offense Friday to look a lot like it did last year.

I remember back when NC won State in 96 and the town basically shut down to go to all of the games. That was what high schol football should be like. Those were the days...

I remember covering a few Nelson County games in the late 1990s...two or three at Nelson County and two or three when they went elsewhere. I remember broadcasting the Shelby County - Nelson County game at Shelby County for Thunder 101.7 FM I believe in 1999...the Nelson fans rolled into Shelbyville with a chartered tour bus, parked in the parking lot, and set up a large, full-scale buffet line!! Pretty impressive.

 

Still my nominee for "most confused high school"...had the Nebraska "N" on the helmets, the University of Louisville Cardinal head painted on the field and fieldhouse, and the University of Kentucky fight song... :lol:

yeah, i remember those glory days also...

And Mike, lets not forget the Hal Mumme siren....
