OK ...
... so I'm biased. But I think our favorite "Thursday Morning Armchair Quarterback" target really deserves it this week. RHHS beat LHS for this new-fangled "Oil Field Trophy" last week. RC really showed his arse, in my opinion, so I had no recourse but to reply in yet another letter-to-the-editor:
" "Talk at the coffee table, Saturday morning, was that wet grass caused the Indians' loss to the Salukis. We thought the grass may have held down the score. Wait until roundball!"
Am I reading the Sumner Press online, or the Daily Record?
Last time I looked, the Sumner Press was in the Unit 10 District, and Lawrenceville is still clinging precariously onto their building in Unit 20. "Mea Culpa" if this is no longer the case.
The "Oil Field Trophy" should go each year to the best team (i.e.: the WINNER)
Football is a game played in all weather. Witness the games played at Foxboro Stadium to decide the AFC playoffs in recent years. On a personal note, my "less-than-illustrious" high-school football career at RHHS was capped in a game during a raging downpout at Oblong. I was as a junior when I scooped up a fumble and ran it in for a touchdown. The mere fact that we were penalized on the ensuing kick-off for unsportsmanlike conduct (I spiked the ball) wasn't really an issue for me. Bill Huff wasn't happy with me, but I was on "cloud nine".
This, coincidentally, was the only game in my memory where there was a delay of game, to try to find Rick Hasler's contact lenses.
While my brother was All-NEC his junior and senior years at the former BTHS, I do still have it over him in that I actually reached the end zone.
Sincerely,
Lee Brookhart"
