High school football is such a big thing over in America.
It is really pretty big in our town - our quarterback just left for Clemson University this fall - he was the #1 draft pick of high school players!
High school football
High school football is gridiron football played by high school teams in the United States and Canada. It ranks among the most popular interscholastic sports in both countries.
High school football began in the late 19th century, concurrent with the start of many college football programs. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many college and high school teams played against one another. Today, the oldest high school football rivalry dates back to 1875 in Connecticut, between the Norwich Free Academy Wildcats and the New London
High School graduating in 1981. In high school, he led the Rebels to Vermont state championships in baseball and football (quarterback) and was one of the best basketball players in the state scoring over 1,000 career points as a four-year starter. He is the first and only product of a Vermont high school to be selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft and go on to reach the major leagues.
He spent six years in the Boston minor league system before joining the big club late in 1988.
