I always enjoy going to the local high schools to watch football games this time of the year. Last night, our local high school, Richmond-Burton Rockets, opened their season against Chicago's Roosevelt Rough Riders.
I figure, I give enough money through property taxes to the school that I ought to get some enjoyment.
This is the second straight year that we opened against Roosevelt, which is coached by a former Richmond-Burton grad and Spring Grove resident. And, this was the second-straight blow-out for our guys.
The score at the end of the first quarter was 35-0 and 42-0 at half. Surprisingly, Roosevelt received the ball at the beginning of the third quarter and held onto it for all 12 minutes, but did not score. I left with R-B having a 42-0 lead early in the 4th.
It was sad to see Roosevelt only had about ten fans and no cheerleaders. I found out that last year they were 3-6 and the year before 6-2.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
