Uncle Ron 1,491 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yo All ... My Dad was the football coach and athletic director at the Trona High school for some 30 years ... He coached and directed the maintenance of the "The Pit", the only all dirt football field in America ... This short film was done a couple years ago ... The man that starts and ends on-screen comments is my cousin, Onace Long ... I played 4 years of high school football on this field, which was like playing on a beach ... Other schools hated it and our guys had massive legs ... We hurt a lot of other teams players because we hit so hard when we got to play on grass fields of other schools ... I think you'll get a kick out of this if you're a football fan or just one who appreciates disappearing unique Americana! ... Cheers, Unc 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

garimpo 2,295 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Unc I would bet watching that film brought back so many memories that you had tears mud in your eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
