It is a score that jumps off the screen when you see it and slaps you right in the face.

High School Football:

RICE 7 St. JOHNSBURY 0

I first saw that tonight sitting in my seat at Gutterson Fieldhouse between the first and second periods of the Catamounts home opener with Clarkson.

RICE 7 ST.JOHNSBURY 0

It’s got to be a misprint …

No? Well then St. J had to be missing some key players … a big injury? Some suspensions? Something!

Nope, according to the reports I have seen so far not the case. Rice just beat them.

Wow, has there been a bigger upset in Vermont high School Football in the past 20 years? Maybe, but right now I can’t think of one.

The old cliche fits … so I will use it …

THAT IS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAMES!
