High school football playoffs

[WatterBoy]

Our local high school football team ran their record to 10-0 last night with a 49-28 win over a conference rival in the section championship game. We will play in the state tourney next weekend for the first time since 1999, and of all things, it will be against another of our conference rivals, but one that we didn't play during the regular season because it was our year to miss them in the scheduling rotation. Back to last night's game -- our fullback ran 25 times for 116 yards...not a bad night. But get this, our halfback carried 33 times for a school-record 301 yards and a school-record tying 5 TDs! And here's a statistical oddity for you. The other team's halfback ripped off a 65 yard TD run midway through the second quarter, but finished the night with 11 carries for 55 yards. It was a chilly night, but it was fun to be able to watch the team celebrate on our home field after the win.
