We’re thankful for high school football

What are you thankful for this Thanksgiving?

We’re thankful for the special role that football plays in high schools across the country.

From teaching life lessons and carrying on traditions to igniting school pride and bringing communities together, there’s nothing like high school football.

football is all about

As another high school football season comes to an end, who players were when they stepped onto the field is not who they are when they step off of it.

WOW! What a ride this football season has been.

Football is HARD.

Football is called the ultimate team game for a reason.

High school football is more than a game.

Here’s a fact not many people talk about: the most talented 14-year-old football players rarely make it to the pros. Since student-athletes grow and develop at different rates, talent at a young age is never a guarantee for long-term success.
