Fundamentally Central
By |
For me, Central High School Football is Fundamental, and apparently about three thousand of my friends and neighbors agree. Having missed very few games, home or away, in the last ten years, I see many of the same faces today that I did ten years ago, because CHS Football is a Fundamental part of their lives. For many of the Fundamental Faithful I know whether they miss a game because they usually sit in the same spot each week.
Then, each year, you can add a group of committed parents, relatives, friends and neighbors of all of the new players on the team, the band, the flags, the kittens and the cheerleaders. These new fans come to Wildcat Stadium Fundamentally committed to supporting their student, but after four years many of these will be hooked and CHS Football will become a Fundamental part of their lives for years to come.
Let me also say that I could also be writing this piece about Central Private, because I am certain that for every parent and fan at CP, Rebel Football is just as Fundamental. The Central community is fortunate to have a quality private school, and this reminds me that the Fundamental commitment to High School Football knows no school boundaries.
What is so “Fundamentally Central” about these upcoming Friday nights? Teamwork, hard work, support, neighbors, family, values, good times, excitement, education, character, catching up, relaxing, friends…. I believe all of these things are Fundamentally Central. So come out tomorrow for the Jamboree starting at 5:30 with Central scheduled to play Baker at 7:30, and again next Friday at 7 when Central hosts Istrouma, and again every Friday night this fall, because High School Football is Fundamentally Central.
