A repeat from 2015
Thursday, I rode with WW & Kelly to Orange Lutheran
High School's first "frosh" game of the year.
It was held at Dominguez High School in Compton.
The game was scheduled for OLU but because of the
heat index, was moved to DHS where they have grass,
rather than the artificial turf at OLU that radiates
an extra 10 degrees heat. We walked a ways to the
aged bleachers to perch in the 92' heat for the game.
OLU team was larger in number. DHS seemed half
or less, not in physical size but number.To play FB
or sports at OLU is pricey, so I reasoned that might
be a factor at DHS.The teams seems more equal
in ability than the eventual 21 - 0 OLU winning score
would tell. At half time the 6 OLU coaches & managers
took the team to shade & water at the end of the field.
The 3 DHS coaches met their player under the goal posts
in the sun. No managers or water apparent.
(My Grandson is the cute one)
At one point a DHS player ran a speedy, picture-perfect
touchdown which was summarily declined by referees,
due to interference by non-players on the sidelines.
Most of us missed the interference, watching the skillfu run.
When the game was over, we rolled limp, out of the stands.
OLU team boarded their A/C bus to return to the OC.
My joy for my grandson and the terrific OLU team is
tempered by a sadness for the inequalities in life, that are
so easily overlooked when we are on the easy side.
Maybe TMI, but I needed this.
