Great Job Green Wave Fans

Wanted to take just a moment to thank the folks at Easley High School.

With the high school football season set to open Friday night, Easley had a community pep rally downtown on Thursday evening. The Green Wave will take on rival Pickens in the opener at Brice Field, and we at WCCP will make it the first stop again this year for our Friday Night Lights High School Game of the Week.

I was happy to accept when asked to emcee the pep rally. Between the cheerleaders, band, football players and 300 or so fans gathered on an early evening in which the temperature again hovered near triple digits, even I couldn't mess up things.

In fact, the crowd was kind enough to laugh at my feeble attempt at the occasional joke. My youngest daughter, Rebekah, was shocked that her old man was received so well.

But it's that way everywhere we go for our game broadcasts.

Upstate fans have embraced us, and we thank you for doing so. To me, even all these years later, there's still something special about those football Friday nights.

So whether it's Easley this week or anywhere else on our schedule, we look forward to seeing you all.

Let the games begin.
