During the week, the countless hours in the classroom seem like they are never going to end. However, when Friday night rolls around, it becomes a night most students anticipate and become excited for rather than dread. From social aspects to a feeling of unity, high school football games are always a popular event where the whole school gathers under those Friday Night lights.

There are many aspects that bring out creativity in students that revolve around football games, including themes. From Hawaiian to neon to togas to jerseys and others, the creativity and weekly trips to Party City become a weekly occurrence so many students look forward to. Another popular sighting is the use of countless bottles of paint. It can be seen everywhere from someone's face to legs to stomach and wherever else. Dots on your face, handprints on your legs, numbers on your stomach - you name it. You'll see it. The creativity of these sightings is just one aspect of high school football games that creates lots of anticipation and excitement!

Getting all dolled up with cute face paint and beads can't be just for nothing, right? Just like any other social event, these football games are prime opportunities to take great pictures for social media. From pictures in the stands to ones with your favorite football player on the field after the game, hundreds of pictures take place at the game. Students love the opportunity to share the fun and enjoyment of being at the games.

The tangible aspects of football games are amazing, but the feelings the students feel are even better. These games become an event that unify the school. Students from all grades, social groups, and sports teams show up to support the football team. With so many people at the games, you will likely meet someone new. With your share of love for the cheers, team and friends, making new best friends at games occurs many times. From chants to screams about bad calls, the spirit in the stands spreads like wildfire.

There may be times when you get mad because somebody didn't save you a spot in the bleachers. There may be times when your face paint smears, and you want to spend all your time in the bathroom fixing it. There may be times when you get so squished on the fence that you almost want to leave. But at the end of the day, that is what makes high school football games so great. The football. The fun. The family.
