I went to a new high school football game tonight and things were different.There were several police officers present. They needed to be there. The kids in the bleachers were insane.
I love the fact that the bleachers at our high school in Fountain Lake, Arkansas are always packed with lots of student and adults.. Everybody shows up and half the folks are adults because they are parents and their kids go to Fountain Lake or they are alumni.
Tonight I talked to a police officer at the "other"game, and he explained they had to keep lots of law enforcement present because parents generally just dropped their kids off. And that means there are problems. But at Fountain Lake there are generally as many adults in the bleachers as kids. We all watch each others kids, we holler at them, give them money, ask them to go get us a hot dog or popcorn from the concession stand. It's a community and I love that.
