High School Football Friday Night Finish with not many games, but No Lack of Drama

That Page at Dudley game was Total Drama…There was a Weather Delay before the game even got started…Pushed us back around 30 minutes on our Start Time…Then you had back-and-forth scoring throughout the contest with plenty of lead changes…There was drama with the 2025 Dudley Homecoming Parade coming through the campus about an hour before the game was to supposed to Kick Off…There was all kinds of chirping going amongst the players while they were on the field warming up for the game…They came on the field, they were told to get back off the field, and go somewhere and wait till we let you when this game can get going….Some of the fans were probably thinking the same thing, as they saw the players come on the playing surface get started with warmups and then they went back to the fieldhouse, so the players hung out for awhile, they checked on their homework scores, and then they got down to business…

A bundle of injuries in the Page-Dudley game too, and we had one real serious injury, and that one required for the EMTs come in and cart the player off…Not a pretty sight, but we are hoping that the Page kid can be up and rolling/playing again real soon…We sure played the Murphy Wanier Orthopedic Specialists commercials many time over the course of this special Homecoming Night, at James B. Dudley High School….There were more injured Page players going down, than there Dudley players….Turned out to be a fun, but highly physical contest….The crowd was really into this ballgame……
