Experience prevails.
Last year NMS was battling for a state title, with actual fans in attendance. That experience is invaluable.
So much has changed in the village since the last time this town had a chance at a state football title.
The last time the Buzzards were in the finals these seniors were riding their Huffy and Schwinn bikes around town.
They were eating their happy meals at that small, dinky McDonald's.
Ben Franklin's was a staple in the Coldwater Mall where the kids were getting their penny candy.
There were no lights on diamond 4.
The hospital on the west outer loop almost doubled in size.
There was no Park for All Abilities.
China Dragon was rounding up cats and serving wonderful chinese food.
The amphitheatre at the park was just an open area with a few trees.
There was no mexican restaurant.
McSobers had no drive through service.
The girls soccer team was playing their games in the swamp.
So much has changed and all we can hope for is that the stadium lights aren't too bright against a tough, experienced, battle hardened NMS squad looking out for revenge.
Too bad the Dictator Dewine won't let everyone who wants to watch this live. A damned shame.
