    High school teams slumming it in Hawaii? What is this world coming to?

    Had an overtime thriller tonight, but couldn't concentrate at all on the game.

    At half time someone told me the star quarterback, for what would be the losing team, has cancer. Kid is a junior and I had an inkling that something was indeed wrong, but I was hoping these tests he was having weren't anything to worry about.

    Well, it's something to worry about.

    Supposedly this it for the guy. I had a long off-the-record chat about it with the coach. Coach said it was most likely his last game. Chemo starts next week. Non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Kid already looks sick to these eyes.

    Absolute bummer.

    You know Fort Scott is always going to be there. Pittsburg has more hit and miss of late, though.

    Personally, I love the eight-man divisions. Sadly, Hanston doesn't have a team anymore; school shut down a couple years ago. To me, that was the best place in the state to catch a game. Can't put a finger on it, but the atmosphere, the people and that team were something else.

    Man, that's 5,000 times worse than my game. I thought having two guys taken off in ambulances, one with a likely ruptured spleen, was bad.

    Some schools around here have ... uh ... funds for such things. Lucky them. We didn't staff it.

    Some good 8-man teams in SEK, too. St. Paul's always strong, and Thayer has a good year here and there. Best thing about Kansas 8-man is the mercy rule. If a team goes up by 40 (or is it 45?) anytime after halftime, game over. And it happens often.

    It's 45. Happened to me last night. Kid scores a TD to go up 44-0, then fail on the two-point conversion (I was pissed). But, on the ensuing "drive," kid picked a pass and went 61 yds. untouched for the score. End game 50-0 with 10 minutes left in the contest.
