Hmmm... no forum for high school?
It's halftime of the JV game (0-0 so far) at my first press-box volunteer session (scoreboard, clock, PA, and lights) of the 2016-7 season. This is the (counting on fingers) 10th season I have done this, if we include the few games at the end of the 2007-8 season - sitting gn a heat-sapping aluminum bench seat on a wet and windy night, I saw my friend Mark W sitting warm and dry in the press box across the way, so I went over and asked if he needed any help. After 2 games of OJT, he didn't show up any more.
The Poway boys varsity is 6-0-1 so far this year, and won the Francis Parker tournament the first year they played in it. Tonight is Scripps Ranch, immediate neighbor to the south, so you would think there is a natural rivalry there. However, they play in different leagues and usually in different divisions, so the only games I can remember between the schools is early-season non-league games like tonight. Also, there is a lot of overlap in club and indoor teams, so there is more friendship than rivalry.
