THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL, AND WE NEED TO REMEMBER THAT - By Travis B. Key

​

I had the opportunity to play football on every level – from Pop Warner to the NFL – and for me there is nothing like high school football.

    What makes high school football so special goes well beyond the Xs and Os. It reflects in the genuine love and passion that players, coaches and fans exhibit for the sport and for each other.

    Once athletes and coaches get beyond high school ball, the game becomes more of a business. Factors such as scholarships, salaries, facilities, apparel contracts and TV deals help decide what takes place on and off the field, how the game is played from the player’s perspective and how it is perceived by fans.
