Throw on your team's colors, grab a hot chocolate from the concession stand and let's catch a football game under the lights.

High School Football Season is something I always look forward to. In high school, I was a pom-pon and I have spent many Friday nights performing under the lights during halftime.

There is something magical about high school football. The smell of hot chocolate, the roar of the crowd, the chill in the air... it's a magical time.
