2013 Postseason
My postseason adventure began on Friday, November 8th at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Orchard Park, New York. After having watched 50 games during the 11 regular season weeks, the trek began again.
2013 Regular Season
2013 Regular Season
Well, I had intended to write something up regarding the 2013 season week by week. Due to some personal and business related reasons, I haven’t found the spare time mid-week to start writing. And once the weeks rolled on, I just decided to wait until after the regular season was over.
2012 Pennsylvania (Week 17)
Pennsylvania (Week 17)
In what would be Ohio Week 17, I drove to Hershey, Pennsylvania for the PIAA Championship Games. I was here two years ago, and had a low opinion of the games. I wasn’t expecting much. My low expectations were surpassed, and I had an enjoyable weekend in Chocolate Town.
2012 New Jersey (Week 16)
New Jersey (Week 16)
Due to the unfortunate tragedy wrought by Hurricane Sandy, New Jersey had pushed back their titles games to the week after the OHSAA finals. Because of this, and the lack of really any sort of doubleheaders in Pennsylvania to see, I decided to drive out to the Garden State to take in their championships being held at MetLife Stadium. It was going to be a rather tight weekend, as I planned to drive to Cleveland for the Browns-Chiefs game on Sunday with my dad. This wasn’t going to be easy.
2012 Pennsylvania (Week 14)
Pennsylvania (Week 14)
The past two weeks have been games in the Keystone State again. My reasoning is simply there’s more games available than in Ohio with the lone single game on Friday night and single game on Saturday night.
2012 Pennsylvania (Week 12)
Pennsylvania (Week 12)
Once again, I’m not sure why I can’t seem to find the time to make an update. But, I’ve mostly seen Pennsylvania games the last five weeks, including three this past weekend when I decided a 340-mile round trip to New Philadelphia from where I am this weekend would be just a tad too much for the Big Red game.
2012 Pennsylvania (Week 7)
Pennsylvania (Week 7)
Unfortunately, despite having the time to see the number of games, I haven’t had the time to write recaps of my weekends. But, I also haven’t traveled much for games. I’ve only seen games in four states so far this year and all of them bordering Ohio (Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and West Virginia).
Before recounting some games from elsewhere around Pennsylvania from earlier this year, I’ll give a run-down of this week.
2012 Kentucky (Week 0)
Kentucky (Week 0)
Alright, this is a little late, but I felt like getting the ball rolling for another year of high school football.
Unlike in previous years, my schedule will let me be home every weekend (or virtually every weekend) this fall. One of the benefits of working for yourself.
But, I still like to see games.
And this year is no different. My season started earlier than ever this year as I drove down to Kentucky to take in two days of ‘bowl games’.
2011 Georgia (Week 16)
Georgia (Week 16)
I intended to write up something for Week 14 when I was home in Pennsylvania. I saw five games. The District 10 Class A Final from Hermitage’s Hickory High School’s Hornets Stadium between the Sharpsville Blue Devils and the West Middlesex Big Reds.
On Saturday, I was in Pittsburgh at Heinz Field for the four WPIAL championship games. As with last year, the WPIAL finals weren’t really that big of an atmosphere. The 4A game between North Allegheny and Upper St. Clair proved very entertaining as it went to overtime before defending state-champion North Allegheny prevailed.
And last week it was the OHSAA Championships in Canton and Massillon where I witnessed, at the time, the best game of the year I’ve seen between Creston Norwayne and Kenton. That was until this Friday afternoon.
2011 Oklahoma & Texas (Week 13)
Oklahoma & Texas (Week 13)
Once again, I’m going to keep this brief. After determining I’d see the quadruple-header at Cowboys Stadium, the only question was what game or games I’d see on Friday. And, that left me a few options in the Sooner state.
I chose the small town of Caddo, Oklahoma to be that game. An 8-man second round game featuring Caddo and Fox.
