Looking for a little bit of High School Football? Morgantown High is on the road against Wheeling Park. This will be played close to where my brother Gary lives, pretty much within 5 minutes. University High is at home against Linsley, a private school that my niece Brittany attended for a semester or so. Clay Battelle is also on the road this week against Meadow Bridge. They will have 3 1/2 to 4 hours of travel each way; I would hope they let them out of school early for this game.
Speaking of football, it was 53 years ago today that I had the worst injury of my life playing pickup football. Left thigh and a greenstick fracture that caused me to have a pin drilled through my leg, 4 weeks in traction lying in the hospital with that pin having weight on it, 6 weeks immobilized in a body cast all the way up to my breast area from the left leg and halfway down my right, a couple more weeks in the hospital in traction to straighten my leg back out, then a couple of weeks in a straight leg cast. I was ready to play by baseball season. My left leg is slightly longer than my right, making me 1/2" taller on my left leg than on my right. That made for a long winter to say the least.
Have yourselves a great day.
