My best friend's husband is a high school football coach and this year, he was hired on at Reed High, the high school I went to. Going back so many years later (I won't tell you exactly how many because it's depressing) feels almost like I never left. The cool kids still hang out by the refreshment stand and don't really watch the games, while the parents and alums crowd the stands, cheering like maniacs for the home team.
Friday nights are my favorite part of the fall. Watching kids play football is adorable. Even at their best, they are still pretty terrible, but you can tell that they love it. They love being out on the field and playing football. For many, it's their last opportunity to play the game they love so much and for a select few, it's the beginning of careers, but they are all a team and they all play for the love of the game.
And we get to sit back and enjoy it! Happy Friday, friends!
