While many students of Tennessee Tech went home for the weekend of Dec. 3, 4, 5 some exciting action took place. They missed the action of high school football that took place right on campus on the Overall Field home to the Golden Eagles football team. Many of the states qualify high school teams played of the title of being State Champs. Many fans from the team brought out the grills, firing away the hotdogs and hamburgers as they prepared to watch their teams face off. It was a great turnout and much support for all the teams that played. The stands were packed with spirited fans wearing their team’s colors.
I went out to watch the games and just the atmosphere was one that everyone who played football dreamed about. Many players were excited to play on a college football field under the lights and most fun playing on television. Looking at most of the player’s eyes you just saw amazement playing in front of, in most cases more people than ever. While the games were played many of them went right down to the wire which made the celebration of the winning team just that more exciting. There were no cupcake games as I must say the teams were very much so evenly matched.
Being from Georgia it was different watching Tennessee football. The size of the players was the biggest surprise. The linemen were smaller than what I was accustomed to seeing and playing against when I was in high school, but overall a great weekend.
