Today my high school alma mater, the place where I spent four years marking time until college, is playing in the 3A State football championship.
For the third time in three years. They haven't won one yet.
This time, however, they are going into Kenan Stadium ranked number one in the 3A conference and with an undefeated season.
Quite the big deal y'all.
How big is it? You're probably asking yourself (go ahead, ask yourself, 'cause this is rich..)
So big that the local newspaper is talking smack to the opposing team's hometown paper
That's right. The Times News has issued a throw down to the Gaston Gazette in which the loser must send the winner a gift basket with items native to the loser's area.
There's a lot riding on this. Blood, sweat, pride, tears, hot dogs, country ham, socks, specimen cups and dead frogs. Here's to hoping third time's the charm for the Warriors, I don't know if Burlington's economy can take the hit required to send all these goodies to Gastonia.
