High School Football
9 Hoover (AL) vs Byrnes (SC) – ESPN – Noon ET
South Pointe (SC) vs Northwestern (SC) – ESPNU – 4 ET
On Thursday afternoon I flew to Charlotte. Drove to Rock Hill, SC, which is only a few minutes over the border.
My long time friend Mark, who just moved to Charlotte, joined me for dinner at the Chili’s next to the hotel.
It was nice to catch up and talk about the upcoming football season.
Friday was our set day. About half of our SEC Football crew was here this weekend. We also are using “our” truck for the season.
This weekend we are using the Duet, since it’s High School football. However, my Viz is being installed on the truck today/tomorrow.
This weekend is the debut of the new look on the Duet. So there was a huge learning curve! Stephanie and I both attended the seminar, however, the disk will be a work in progress for several weeks.
We spent a lot of time taking notes on what should be added and changed. And even more time figuring out how to use a lot of the shells!
Since we felt that we were falling behind fast, I ran out to grab us some lunch.
Very tasty!
We spent the rest of the afternoon building away.
That evening, I went with my friend Mike over to Stephanie’s house for a cookout. It was very nice – but we couldn’t stay late as we have an early call tomorrow!!
Saturday morning came fast!
Double header football is always a long day. Even if it is High School football! (shorter quarters)
Our catered breakfast was across the street at the American Legion post.
It was awesome!
It was staffed by American Legion volunteers. Everything was homemade and delish! Right down to the sliced tomatoes from one of the ladies’ garden. It was really cool to hang out and talk with the volunteers. They were all super sweet.
Walked back to the truck.
Before we knew it, it was kickoff!
Between games, we had a quick break. We had Chick-fil-A catering. I kinda like the new spicy chicken sandwhich.
Game 2 started and … ugh. I am tired!!
Side note… there were issues with installing my Viz. The wrong size of brackets were sent so it can not be installed until next week. Bummer :(
I talked to the appropriate people and made sure that an additional Viz was being shipped next weekend, so I would have one to work on, while the permanent one was being installed.
After the game, Stephanie and I worked on our notes to send back and then parted ways.
I headed over to Shannon’s. She had pizza and wine waiting for me!
We stayed up late watching TV.
On Sunday, we met Mark for a late breakfast at Flying Bisuit. Oh my!
Totally worth the wait!
I had some chicken and bricks of grilled Mac & Cheese. Yes, GRILLED Mac & Cheese!
It was Mac & Cheese, cut into a brick and then grilled. I was in heaven! The chicken and biscuit were good, but didn’t compare to the Mac & Cheese!!
That evening, I headed back to Columbus.
