24-6. Our boys' season ended tonight. No championship game this year.
I feel bad for the kids. It was a great team & a great season. My nephew didn't want to come to the bar after the game at first... but changed his mind. Red eyed, teary eyed and very subdued. There's nothing you can say to make that better.
I know. Been there, done that.
It's very difficult for me to see that in him... because I do know. It's hard to understand if you haven't been there yourself. If you don't understand high school athletics... or high school football. They're not grown men making millions of dollars... they're boys playing for no other reason than love for the game.
To get so far and lose... well... it really just sucks.
The season was awesome. They only had one loss coming into this game. They have every reason to be proud of their season. And maybe by Monday, they'll remember that. Right now? It just hurts.
For the boys... Their season... And the love of the game...
