I mentioned in yesterday’s post that we had gone out for dinner before attending the first game of the season at Marblehead High School. We arrived in time to catch the first touchdown and then stayed for the entire game and another 7 touchdowns for a final score of 55-0 (one missed extra point). It was a great evening though colder than expected with the feel of autumn in the air.
Here is one shot of a running play near the end of the game under Friday night lights at Marblehead High.
When did lights go in? During my high-school years, only one football field in the entire conference had lights, and that was Manning Bowl where Lynn English and Lynn Classical played. So there were away games at night there. Otherwise games were always on Saturday afternoons throughout the conference.
