Good Old High School Football

I mentioned in the last post of going to the Richmond-Burton at Johnsburg High School football game on Friday, but having it cancelled because of lightning. It was replayed Saturday afternoon and our local high school, Richmond-Burton Rockets, won.

The last several years I have been spending a lot of Fridays out at the local high school gridiron and really enjoying the experience and spirit of the kids and adults.

I even went to one of the many charity group calendars I received this year and wrote down the home games in the area and will be going out to a lot of them this fall.

I have a pecking order of favorites.

They are:

#1 PALATINE HIGH SCHOOL PIRATES -where I went from 1965 to 1969.

#2 ROUND LAKE HIGH SCHOOL PANTHERS-- I taught in Round Lake for 33 years and lived there for 17 years.

#3 RICHMOND-BURTON HIGH SCHOOL ROCKETS-- Where kids from our subdivision go and where we've lived 20 years now and paid a WHOLE lot of property taxes. Names for the Richmond and Burton townships.

#4 JOHNSBURG HIGH SCHOOL SKYHAWKS-- Next town south of us. The school is just two miles directly south of our house.

#5 GRANT HIGH SCHOOL BULLDOGS-- In Fox Lake where we've kept our boat for the last 28 years.
