Cleaning out the concession stand.
It’s the end of summer and the local high school football team is back in practice a couple of weeks before the return to classes. They need to be prepared for the start of the season and the coaches need time to evaluate the players and work on their plays. School isn’t officially open but there are teachers showing up here and there to check out their classrooms and inventory their allotted supplies. The only students are some upperclassmen girls who aspire to become teachers aides and the football players. The fresh/soph team meets early in the morning from 8 til 11 and the varsity team uses the field after 12 until the coach is satisfied with what he sees. This being summer sometimes they break and return to play in the evening under the lights and the thin blue skies of dusk.
Im Patty, I’m a freshman mom. My son is actually going to participate in Cross Country/track. I have however been volunteered by the senior moms to be on the ‘sports moms’ committee. We get all the chores now. You know, fundraising, decorating, coordinating the end of season banquets, etc. I guess it’ll be all worth it and it shows my son I support him all the way. All the way. Hmmm, funny expression.
