Sure, we like the baseball team, and soccer is starting to make an impact. Our girls' volleyball, softball, and track teams compete at the state level every year. But football...football is the lifeblood of Fayetteville, Ga.
On Friday nights, everyone who is anyone is in those stands. If the game is away, they fill those stands, too. Our school newspaper clippings of game coverage fill the walls of the local pubs and eateries. Our local paper devotes pages to our boys of fall during the season.
It's important. Period.
Alan Weintraut's advise and instruction in sports writing was very helpful to me. I am grateful for the knowledge and the passion that he brought to a topic that drives my community and links them together under those lights.
