the lights I seen on Friday were the Lightning strikes. I went to Rowland to watch PSHS vs SR. I got to the gate and paid 30 bucks to get into the game, on my way in the lady asked me to buy 50/50 tickets. I asked who got the money if I won, she said SR. So I didn't buy any tickets I gave a 20 dollar donation, and said do not put that in the pot, I don't want anyone from pembroke getting my money. She asked me where am I from? I said pembroke. I claimed we have made some dumb decisions lately and don't want my money wasted.
Went and watched a quarter and a half and I witnessed something that I thought I would never see. I watched PSHS defense call a timeout when SR had a 4th and long and 2 defensive coaches were talking to the players, one of the coaches has been there for 30 yrs, was a head coach for a year and has been working with the defense for 20 plus yrs had a coach who has been there for less than 5 pull him on the shoulder to pull him out of the huddle so he could talk to the players. On a 4th and long shouldn't the DB coach be the one coaching up his young backs? Shouldn't you have more respect for the guy who coached you in HS to do that? That is the issue they are having coaches are out for self not the players. I am just glad he didn't have the knife in his hand from last year.
Oh yeah! The parents in the stands are to funny. Some don't even know a X or an O in the alphabet but they think they know football. They think by beating a struggling 1a school they are conference ready. Ladies and Gentlemen, I am not bashing the players or coaches but they are not ready for conference! They are as much ready as UNCP would be ready to play Alabama or Ohio St.
