TURKEY DAYS OF OLD!
The Thanksgiving holiday is filled
with traditions, The turkey dinner. Shopping
on Black Friday, left overs, more shopping
on Cyber Monday, and holiday parades. But
there's one Thanksgiving tradition that is now
pretty much limited to our memories. It was
the annual High School Thanksgiving Day
Football game. Every town had its own
High School back in the day and usually
it played its game with its biggest rival
on Thanksgiving Day. In my case it was
Hazleton vs. West Hazleton. Those Turkey
Day games started to disappear as school
district mergers brought the traditional
opponents under the same roof at a new
High School. I was only on the field for
one of those Thanksgiving Day games.
Actually I was on the sideline for the
most part. I was a Manager for the Football
team. One of those guys who took water
to the players during time outs. And on more
than one occasion I was one of those guys
to carried an injured player off the field
on a stretcher. One "tradition" I truly
don't miss. Hope you've got some good
Thanksgiving holiday tradition memories and
that all your NEWS is good!
