SPORTS as seen by Uncle Jake
These young fellas up here at the newspaper office talked me into going down to Clinton Friday night to see the opening football game between Lake City and Clinton. It was the first football game your Uncle Jake had ever seen so I am not making any comments on who did what good, but I told the editors that they could have a little of my column to say something.
I sure did like those youngsters that yelled for their team all the time. I liked their costumes too. I didn’t find out till I got home that the other people were supposed to help them yell, but nobody around me was hollering atall. I did hear one boy holler “Beat Burrville.” I would have liked it more if our band could have played more and louder. I wondered if our school had a school song. I guess they do though. Don’t think I’ll be able to make it next Friday to Ducktown but I’ll be there in spirit. The two coaches out to be proud of their boys for the good sportsmanship they displayed and we know they will be an example to them the rest of the season. Good sportsmanship reminds me of an old saying that goes like this… “And when the one Great Scorer comes, to write against your name, he writes, not that you won or lost, but how you played the game.” See you next week.
EDITORS NOTE: The Cheer Leaders Uncle Jake spoke of are: Head Cheer Leader Wilma Sharpe and Marsha Watts, Bobbie Turner, Pat Braden, Annette Hatmaker, Paul Vowell. We agree with all the things Uncle Jake has said. There were 3 players slightly injured: Capt. Bruce Harmon, Morris Braden and Dave Hill. Although the score was Clinton 25-Lake City 0, we know with a little experience and practice the Lakers will have a fine season.
