Same thing here with the neighbors, with my mother being a teacher and our black neighbor, Welcome Maison being the principal.
And by the way, we have Garrison Hurst here in Lincolnton and Rome doesn't. Red Devil football, the best in the state.

Nobody in our family has played football since my grandfather (class of '18) started for Ga. Tech at halfback. My dad swam for Darlington and Emory, I didn't play sports in high school and just weird stuff like fencing and equestrian team in college.
I don't think I have ever been to more than one or two football games, and my daughter (who's now at the same high school) has no interest either. You know the private schools got shafted by Speaker Murphy as one of his last acts in office, so I don't expect we'll be winning at anything except debate and lacrosse for 15-20 years now . . . But I'm glad you have a good football team! :-D

Speaking of Lincolnton, my Alabama ggg grandfather was originally from Wilkes County, right next door.
Has your family been there long?
