There are few things that can match the excitement of a hometown Friday night football game when the team is on a winning streak and the half-time performance finds the crowd in the bleachers rather than at the concession stand. Even the weather cooperated to provide a perfect night by postponing the forecast rain and snow until Sunday and allowing us to have one more perfect night for the final home game of the season.
Nothing unites a community more than does supporting the youth, and it is especially rewarding to see when the young people’s response demonstrates that they are well aware of that support and give their best back to the community. It appears to be a pretty proportional equation that the amount of input equals the amount of output in most relationships like this. If there is ever a breakdown in the c
ommunity-input/youth-output cycle, it seems to me that it is sadly the adults’ lack of input that usually creates the breakdown. Time and effort spent on young people is never wasted, and this community is enjoying the fruits of its investments.
