Do you follow high school sports?
Do you keep up with your high school alma mater's sports? Or if you don't live in that area anymore, do you follow your local high school?
I was just wondering because I went to a high school playoff game today. It was such great weather and a really good game. Granted my sister is still in HS, but I probably would have went anyway.
Also, they won! 73 to 38. Two rounds of playoffs down, two more to go to a state championship!

Re: Do you follow high school sports?
Well as the mother of a 2 students in h.s., yes. I also have a daughter in college.
That aside, two of our local girls' high school teams are always nationally ranked and I try to go to the state playoffs every year. At times it is like watching a Division 1 team play.
I write a lot of high school sports (seeing as I'm a sports writer).
But I follow (online) some of the schools I used to cover for the last paper I worked at, and no longer live in the area.
Not really. I sometimes go to my high school's website but not that often. I no longer live in the same state so unless I get an update from my dad, I typically do not know what is going on.
I do not really follow local high school sports.
Curb,
I know you live in NC but not sure if you live in the Triangle. I also know that you like soccer. If you are interested in some top notch girls' soccer, let me know. I can tell you which teams to watch. They play in the spring.
My parents still live in my hometown, and my mom will give me updates - but I haven't really kept up with them since my sister graduated almost six years ago.
I do start to follow them more during the playoffs - they've come thisclose to winning a championship and have always fallen short. They're in the semifinals again this year, and if they don't play the same night as Bedlam, we're considering going. I just want them to finally win one - and some of the boys on the team are siblings of my friends, so at least I'd know some people on the field.
I've been to a few of my high school's football games, but more for the band than the team. We've gone downhill these past couple years, so it's not exciting. I would go to our tournaments in basketball, because those are always packed and a great atmosphere, but that entirely depends on how the team is doing. If they suck, I ain't wasting my money.
My H is band director, so we tend to keep up with the sports at whatever school he's at because he has to be at the majority of them. In college, we went to his alma mater's games pretty frequently because he was helping with band, the teams were good, and it was a fun, cheap way to spend a Friday night.
In a general sense yes, since DH's colleagues (who are college coaches) bring in a lot of students, so he wants to know where they went to school, the background of the school, where it is, the athletic program, etc.
In regards to my own specific high school, I follow my own alma mater because I want to see if the records I set in high school swimming still stand. Sadly, they do not, but they did for a while and it was a nice ego boost have my name on the record board for a few years. And football too since we had a few kids go into the NFL.
