As always, I'll be following this thread.
High school football is almost here and I'm excited and sad about it, all at the same time. This will be my son's senior year and I just hope it's a memorable one. He's been a Camden Harmony Grove Hornet since 3rd grade in 2008. Here's a pic from his very first game. Seems like yesterday!
His Hornets are currently ranked #3 in the state behind Mt. Ida and Rison. Both of those teams beat us last year so I guess the rankings are based on something besides opinion only. The Hornets open up the season as one of the 8 team Hooten's Magazine selected to play in their Hooten's Classic Season Kickoff Game. We'll face Smackover at SAU Magnolia Stadium on Tuesday, August 29 at 5:30. Following our game, Hampton takes on Prescott. There are two other games that will be played at UCA on Monday, August 28. Being selected as one of those teams is quite an honor and I'm very proud of my son's current team, former teammates, and coaches for earning this recognition. I'm expecting a very exciting year and I know no matter how the season ends, I'll be sad. I love watching my son and his friends play!
I'm going to try to keep this going all season long as I have before. Anybody else with "boy of Fall" feel free to jump on. GTT

Thanks for your pm John - I flat tear this up, big time. Keep me posted on all the details. I'll be following your boy, pictures must be included. Thanks.

Good luck this year! Mine's on the freshmen team over here in MS. My son's team isn't held to high expectations, but I'm looking forward to watching them play and grow.

John started for the varsity team as a freshman. That team went 3-7, but because the 3 games won were against conference opponents, we made the playoffs. One playoff game and done that year.
The next year after this one, his sophomore year, the Hornets went 7-3 and won a home playoff game over a better team, then lost on the road to a team not as talented as ours (mainly due to 6 turnovers!). Last year, junior year, his Hornets started out 1-2, then finished regular season at 5-4......then went 3-1 in the playoffs only to come up one game short of the State Championship game. Last year was a thrilling year for sure! Hoping this year is equally as good.
Good luck Cricketcage and good luck to your son. Hope you guys have as good of a time as I have watching mine play. I wish I could keep it going for a few more.
