…………….Refreshing……..
I get tired of people saying when we cover high school sports, ’so what, who cares?’ That really drives me nuts sometimes. Because I will tell you who cares, parents, students, kids, grandparents, relatives, etc.
We all care.
Monday night, went to Ravenwood High School, which was hosting the Region 6-AAA semi’s, girls. The teams that were there, Antioch, Brentwood, Franklin, and Hillsboro. The gym was packed, we had 2 really good games and the atmosphere was very electric.
A couple of months go, the Tennessean did an area sports survey about who likes this, who hates that, etc. One of the writers for the paper said that no one cares about high school athletics, except Grandparents.
Seriously, how could one be so obtuse? Really? Try going to any gym in February and March on the high school level and tell me that only Grandparents are there? Brentwood and Franklin had a ton of students there last night. So did Antioch and Hillsboro.
Or Friday night football in Gallatin, or Lincoln County, Giles County, Marshall County, etc. Just because one or two people say ’so what,’ there are a ton more who are saying, ‘We Care.’
