2019 Week 15 (Indiana)

2019 Week 15 (Indiana)

I never intended to get this far behind doing my little weekly updates. I’m skipping over Week 14, because I only saw one game. With very limited options, I could have seen five games in Cicero, New York on Friday and Saturday. Or, see just one game on Saturday in Ohio, or the doubleheader in PA at Norwin for the WPIAL 2A and 5A finals. I had the Browns game on Sunday, and decided to just go with something close. One of the three PIAA District 10 teams. Farrell, Wilmington or Sharon. Looking at the projections, Sharon-Bald Eagle looked like the closest game, and Bald Eagle was a new team for me.

2019 Week 13 (Iowa)

2019 Week 13 (Iowa)

This week was my fourth trip to Iowa for either the state finals or semifinals. All semifinal and final round games are played at the UNI-Dome in Cedar Falls at the University of Northern Iowa. It’s a great venue for a game. And hosting all twelve semifinals is a great weekend of football. Continue reading “2019 Week 13 (Iowa)”

2019 Week 12 (New York)

2019 Week 12 (New York)

My week was fairly tame by comparison. Just a trip up to Orchard Park for the five NYSPHSAA Section 6 Finals at New Era Field. I drove up with a friend. I’ll keep this mostly short, since not a lot of new travel happened. Continue reading “2019 Week 12 (New York)”

2019 Week 11 (Wisconsin & Illinois)

2019 Week 11 (Wisconsin & Illinois)

After my guantlet of 4 states in three days in Week 10, I wasn’t expecting to do much for Week 11. Just head home. But, that’s when I realized, on Tuesday, that there was 8 Minnesota State Playoffs at the Fargodome on Thursday and Friday. Continue reading “2019 Week 11 (Wisconsin & Illinois)”

2019 Week 10 (Upper Plains)

2019 Week 10 (Upper Plains)

This week was something else. I started with a plan to see four games. A doubleheader in Denver on Thursday, a game in Lusk, Wyoming on Friday, and a Saturday afternoon playoff game in North Dakota. Continue reading “2019 Week 10 (Upper Plains)”

2019 Week 9 (Colorado)

2019 Week 9 (Colorado)

So, back in Colorado again. Eastern Colorado. Not the noteworthy mountainous parts that most people association with the Centennial State. Instead, it’s the expansive plains of grassland for as far as the eye can see. Mostly. Continue reading “2019 Week 9 (Colorado)”

2019 Week 8 (New York)

2019 Week 8 (New York)

It’s already Friday, so I’ll keep this brief. Week 8 was a nice little jaunt with a friend to a Friday night in New York, and two games in PIAA District 9.

Thursday opened with a game at Western Reserve in Berlin Center, Ohio. They were hosting Waterloo, a team I had just seen the previous weekend, also on Thursday. Continue reading “2019 Week 8 (New York)”

2019 Week 7 (North Carolina & Pennsylvania)

As many of my weeks, this one didn’t go as planned. I was in North Carolina and with the weather delays, there were several Monday games. None of which I could attend on Monday. But, one game was bumped back another day. Triton v. Fike. And I decided there wasn’t a way to pass it up. Continue reading “2019 Week 7 (North Carolina & Pennsylvania)”

2019 Week 6 (Colorado & Kansas)

2019 Week 6 (Colorado & Kansas)

After my good fortune last weekend getting four games in, things were a bit rockier in Week 6. I was still in the western plains, and though there were a few Thursday options, Saturday in Kansas is basically devoid of games. There were a few games near Denver and two in western Missouri. And one in Texas for the afternoon (Odessa or Midland). Continue reading “2019 Week 6 (Colorado & Kansas)”

Week 5 (Kansas & Texas)

Well, I got out to the Sunflower State like I planned. In the process notched State #37 to my all-time list with two games. With a lack of Saturday games, my only options were in Texas and luckily I made the most of it with two games Saturday evening only about an hour apart. Both six-man games in vastly different settings. Continue reading “Week 5 (Kansas & Texas)”
