What bothers me is that I have wondered for years what a wampus cat is, but I was never interested enough to just look it up.<BR/><BR/>Wow. That's lazy...<BR/><BR/><B>FishHawk</B> -- It's pretty neat, indeed. We got to see Dylan on the field a few times, too.<BR/><BR/><B>Paul</B> -- I'm all for getting together again, as well. Y'all need to meet my wife and kids as they're a hoot.<BR/><BR/>Dad was well loved around the school and I think he did a lot of good. He's glad to be retired, however. Can't say I blame him.<BR/><BR/>I grew up watching games in that stadium and love it still. Tradition is a big deal in this town, so I hope they keep that stadium up and running for a long, long time. One of the quirky things about the stadium is that it's a good two miles from the high school.<BR/><BR/>Weird, huh?<BR/><BR/>Glad y'all had a good time in Benton.<BR/><BR/><B>Sherry</B> -- Ah, then you <I>know</I> all about how important high school football is here in the South!HawgWyldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749940044190568834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-54874447173141497052008-09-20T08:40:00.000-05:002008-09-20T08:40:00.000-05:00If you really want to understand high school footb...If you really want to understand high school football in the South, pay a visit to our town, Summerville, SC. We have Coach John McKissick, the winningest coach in history!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948631272816359901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-44387221419533096692008-09-20T07:40:00.000-05:002008-09-20T07:40:00.000-05:00Ethan, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the game las...Ethan, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the game last night. On top of that, you gave great directions to the stadium!<BR/><BR/>I kept thinking to myself last night, that this is a great atmosphere for high school football. Though there was some sloppy play at times, overall it was a good game. And as the final score indicates, the winner was in doubt as the final seconds ticked off, but the mighty Benton Panthers managed to hang on and win.<BR/><BR/>A good time was had by all. I especially enjoyed meeting you and your dad. He's a good man and I know he had an impact on the kids while he was a principal. I hope we can get together again sometime soon.Paul Eilershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443012393151401891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-42008761813025485962008-09-20T01:53:00.000-05:002008-09-20T01:53:00.000-05:00Dylan's football blog is great!!!Dylan's football blog is great!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-18408390499757254412008-09-20T00:21:00.001-05:002008-09-20T00:21:00.001-05:00Laura:Well, Benton managed to luck out a bit, I th...Laura:<BR/><BR/>Well, Benton managed to luck out a bit, I think. I've loved that field for over three decades and I hope to enjoy it for about three more.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad y'all came down tonight. It's always good to sit down and visit with people we meet through blogging, huh?<BR/><BR/>Heh, and I'll not gloat too much about the victory. Heck, Benton has been whipped by Conway more than a few times and I just can't root too hard against Arkansas high school kids who are giving it their best shot.HawgWyldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02749940044190568834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5736378642004875114.post-20618247359880520372008-09-20T00:21:00.000-05:002008-09-20T00:21:00.000-05:00Well, you learn something new everyday.

The Benton football field is my favorite stadium to watch a football game. You're so close to the field, you feel like you're part of the action! <BR/><BR/>Conway lost tonight but there's always next year!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634146510952805095noreply@blogger.com
