Texas it ain't

The lead story on WPRI’s 10 PM news was all about the high school football playoffs, which started tonight. Not such a stretch yet, right?

The kicker was that a lot of teams with home field advantage for the first round of the playoffs weren’t playing at home since their high school football fields DIDN’T HAVE LIGHTS!

That, and there were about 50 people in the stands, total. There were more people showing up for Magnet soccer games. Granted, it’s colder than the proverbial Wiccan’s bosom today, but still. And it’s not like it’s a long drive to get to the playoff games. Do these folks think that school’s about education or something?
