Like many other posters have said,It is a combination of so many things!

the need for EVERYONE to do his job,the brotherhood you feel, no other sport compares!!!As a former player and now as a parent,nothing is quite like Friday nights during football season!

What makes football so special at your high school? Is it the food? Is it the fans? Is it the team? Is it the coach? Is it the battle? I hear and have read many post about the fields, but I want to hear what makes your syetem the best and so special? What are some the things that you want to see or do when you go to the game?

Whats not special about high school football? Its the lights,its the band,all the guys who used to play on the sidelines telling old "war" stories. The heat of the Pike co. bowl and the bitter chill of the playoffs. The players girlfreinds with their class jackets and jerseys on,even after the theyve married and been out of high school for 10 years. Watching the little kids behind the bleechers tossing the football around and wondering who of that group will be playing under those lights in a few years. Its Pikeville-Belfry week. Its Pikeville-Beechwood week if were lucky enough to get that far. Its knowing that even though youre playing days are over that you are now and always part of a special fraternity. Its seeing youre children play, and it gives you more joy than when you were out there playing. Shall I go on?

All of the above.

The full moon coming up over Putnam Stadium in September and October. I wish I had that picture, but there is no better sight!!!!

I couldn't agree more.

For me it was the adrenaline rush of playing on Friday Nights and the Locker Room talks and Hazing
