Who has the best pregame intro in kentucky high school football? Also, how important is the intro to the home team,visiting team,fans and school's program in general?
The reason i am asking this is because at Harlan we're still doing the same old thing we've done for years. Only a few cheers and rap/rock music and the team comes busting out through the paper. Last season we played at Lee High in Virginia and wow they had the band out there and a patriot like guy on a horse waving a flag as he rode around the field,a cannon and fireworks.All of this was correographed. I thought they really had a great thing going on. Our team was really young and I felt the pregame show had an affect on the way our team started out the game. They were shocked and it showed. I came away from that game with respect for the Lee High progam. They have got alot of class. The same thing happened in the playoffs. Pikeville came out with a bang and we were shocked and took a 35-0 point thrashing in the first quarter. Anyway, I feel that our kids would have responded better if they had a cool pregame show of thier own. Maybe it wouldn't be such a shocker when we go on the road. Say what you want,but those things have an affect on the way a team plays. School's wouldn't waist thier tme with it if they didn't.
