The Maiden Guys, one of the things that makes high school football season special is the teams running onto the field. This really excites the crowd. Team entrances are different. I've seen them walk, run and just jog from the fieldhouse.
One time during a state title game a team (South Columbus) came out of the field house, came across the back of the endzone, and came down our sideline to mid-field, then went across to their side. Now that's swagger.
The entrance that impressed me most was Maiden's at the old Tom Brown. All of a sudden you'd hear the crowd roar and by the time it got your attention and you looked, some of them were already at mid-field and really hyped up. The rest would come pouring out of what looked like an entrance that must have been in the middle of the home stands to join the others. It always took the visitors by surprise. Now that was an entrance.
Granted, you Blue Devils have one of the nicest stadiums around this area, but to the ones who played in it, and the fans who followed them then, there must have been some special twists, turns and spots about the old place.
