Tonight was the night for the ritual lamping of the Escondido High football scoreboard! For the last several years (I guess since the stadium was completed), GP and his good friend Larry Wilson take the tallest step ladder that Skelly Electric owns and change the burned out lamps in the scoreboard. It's really a labor of love and not as difficult as we try to make it seem, but tonight seemed special. It was a picture perfect evening in Escondido, the team was practicing, and football, after a long winter, is finally almost here.
I helped build this stadium about 10 years ago and it is truly the finest HS football stadium in the county. It was such a beautiful evening, I couldn't help taking a few pictures. If you love HS football, you've gotta love this place!
We (the team, that is) are looking forward to a spectacular season, as we have a world class running back, and a large group of very talented young men. Among them is Riley Wilson, Larry's son, who will start at safety and wide receiver this year.
Go get 'em Riley!
GO COUGARS!
