They say that in Texas it is a Friday Night tradition that everyone in small towns goes to the local high school to cheer on their local football team. At least that is how it works in the tv show Friday Night Lights and the movie Varsity Blues.
Here in Hardy County it is a Friday Night tradition that people come out in droves to watch the local football teams in action. We have two teams in our county. One is the East Hardy Cougars and the other is the Moorefield Yellow Jackets. As long as I can remember these two teams have been county rivals.
Fans come out on Friday Nights to watch their team play no matter what the weather. Announcers do play by play action on the local radio station WELD for fans who can't make the game. With technology the way it is you can now get play by play action on Twitter via the local newspaper the Moorefield Examiner.
This season so far has been a good one. East Hardy has won back to back games. Moorefield has lost back to back games. The season is still early. Moorefield has time to make a comeback.
Moorefield has a young quarterback Brent Moran who does a fine job. They also have a quarterback named Grant Keller. I don't know much about him. East Hardy has one quarterback Clay Skovron who does an excellent job.
I hope that one day East Hardy and Moorefield will both make it to Wheeling Island to play for the state title. That would be so exciting. It would put our little county on the map. It is a dream that may never happen.
Good luck to both East Hardy and Moorefield this season. Play hard and do your best. You both are good teams.
