Being one of the best Rivalry Series games in High School Sports and for the Rivalry Series, the atmosphere was electric with excitement as the fans arrived early (3 PM!) to secure their seats for the game of the year in the region. We arrive early to set up the stadium and the staff for the home team were very helpful in assisting us with setting up. The Pisgah team arrived early to raucous visiting team fans who were anxious for a win which had not happen in two (2) years. When Tuscola arrived, the home stands were 75% full and ready for the game to get started.
