DON McCORMACK
Scrimmages are under way, lineups are being formulated as the Buckeye State gears up for the 2009 high school football season.
Along those lines, we are asking you, Loyal Readers, to help us provide some different types of stories.
While we will cover the games, the previews, the analysis and the columns by the likes of the infamous Major Amos B. Hoople, we are hoping you can provide us with some sidebar stories.
So we are calling on anyone associated with the game or the staging of the game — other than players or coaches — to tell us what makes — or made — high school football special to you.
We’re talking about cheerleaders, band members, mascots, chain-gang members, public-address announcers, concession-stand workers... you name it, we want to hear your memories, your stories, your magic moments.
What is it about high school football that makes — or made — it special for you.
Here’s your chance to express those thoughts.
Please submit them in one of the following manners:
n Email — donmac@suite224.net.
n Fax — 998-7938.
n “Snail” mail — Addressed to Don McCormack, Sports Editor, The Star Beacon, P.O. Box 2100, Ashtabula, Ohio 44005-2100.
n Or dropped off here at the Star Beacon offices, addressed to me, located at 4626 Park Ave. here in Ashtabula.
Please include a telephone number so we can contact you if we’d like to follow up with you.
Deadline is Wednesday.
Hit us up, football fans. We want to hear your stories.
