High School Football WILD headlines: Friday Night Lights OUT, Horse Manure, Rush Propst

I asked y'all to send me the craziest things you saw in high school football fields this past Friday night to at go Coffee Town on Twitter or X and it never disappoints y'all keep it coming week in and week out the first story I got was a video of Alcoa and Bearden in Tennessee and I'm not allowed to share the video I checked it is owned by local news corporation much bigger than go fight and win and I like doing this show and I don't want them to make me take it down so I'll include a link in the episode's description but what happens is Bearden is driving at Alcoa trailing 17-13 and the quarterback throws the ball out of bounds and they're trying to come back and win the game but what happens immediately after the ball sails out of bounds is the lights go out for eight minutes straight well The Tennessean has the story here Tom Krieger wrote it and he spoke to Alcoa head coach Eli Owens and here's what coach says honestly I was thinking like the Super Bowl between the Ravens and 49ers y'all may remember the lights went out during Beyonce's show maybe a publicity stunt maybe just the Superdome being old as hell and coach goes on and says but you know it was God it was almost like a second half time I think it helped both teams I think any type of break in a game like Friday is helpful for anybody well coach you didn't help Bearden because they lost the game and the lights go out in these high school games from time to time I remember a game in the early 2000s state championship game Parkview playing at Northside in Warner Robins and Northside had some momentum they were trailing Park View and the lights go out for 30 minutes well the unique thing about Northside is Northside shares McConnell Talbert stadium with Warner Robins and this is a fierce rivalry in the state of Georgia one of the best and I'd put it up there with one of the best in the country these two fan bases hate each other well the lights go out and you know there was a Warner Robins fan team dad team mom who knew where the light switch was newer that circuit breaker was boom lights go well and I'm not saying anybody did it on purpose but that's how the legend goes so that's what happens here Alcoa and Bearden Alco is the home team their home lights go out and it's dark and you can't tell me that it helped both teams Bearden is over there saying what is going on we're on Enemy Turf and the lights are out they got to keep their heads on a swivel because there's no telling what could come out of that Darkness well a wind did not come out of it for them here's the deal though I'm not an electrician I'm not an electrical expert I've hung a couple ceiling fans in my day and it just scared the crap out of me dealing with those live wires that I flipped the right switch in the circuit breaker you never know uh and it was it was pretty stressful top five argument in my marriage no doubt about it so I don't deal with electricity anymore but I did see this in the video the lights are out the LEDs the halogens whatever they got up there but they're not out in the Press Box and they're not out in the school or the Dairy Queen or whatever you can see in the background there so it wasn't a power outage in the area was it a you know Christmas Vacation situation did a did an animal cat or squirrel get in there starting on those wires and uh knock the lights out I don't know did uh did an Alcoa team mom team dad see the comeback was on and just happened to stumble on that light switch I guess we'll never know that's not that the last one out in Alcoa that's the night that they won the football game coach Eli said it was an act of God now but did someone from Alcoa have a lot switch in their hands we'll never know and the next thing y'all sent me is a video I can use from Nick King Sports in Arizona thank you Nick appreciate that y'all give him a follow as he is gracious and allowing me to use this wonderful video it's perfect so Nick King says the start of the Ala Queen Creek it's not short for Alabama maybe it's Allah Queen Creek maybe it's French Allah Queen Creek taking on Saguaro Saguaro the game was delayed because the horse leading the Patriots out apparently decided Midfield was a wonderful place to relieve himself so y'all check this out this is a big horse here okay I mean this is a noble steed this is just a beautiful image to begin with and it's only going to get better I mean this thing is as close to Clydesdale as you're going to get so again I'm not a horse expert either not equestrian guy but I do know that wild animals or domesticated horses they go early and they go often so the horse does evacuate its bowels right there at Midfield you see the kid out there with the shovel we'll get to him in a minute my advice if you're dealing with the live mascot and that animal has not gone by let's say the national anthem you may need to have a backup plan Plan B maybe approach one of the team dads out there granddads in the parking lot on his motorcycle and say hey Rick the horse you know we're still waiting on this horse to take a dump here it hasn't gone yet do you think you could ride your hog out there and carry the flag for us because this could be a disaster clearly the Patriots have not gotten that down yet or maybe you know this is their home field too maybe this is a little intimidation Factor you're going to come out on our field and it's going to be a mess by God so the horse does its thing and trots off to wherever it's going you see the horse trailer back there in the background it probably has a big Friday night ahead maybe heading out to a rodeo after this there's no telling but my question here is this kid right here the shovel kid Nick says it took the young fellow with the shovel two trips to clean it all up well I mean look dude you're working on this turf you're trying to scrape up Silver's lunch here and you got all these rubber pellets getting in the way all that said I'm not making excuses for the kid he he could have better technique here he's taking his time we got a game going on the refs are back there saying hey come on son let's go one of the refs is on his phone making the tick tock of it probably other ones just laughing at him so the pressure's on you got 800 people watching you shovel crap it's not easy and is this his job is this his primary job is he on standby for horse manure every single week I see the tea retriever is he the ball boy this is part of it is he going above and beyond trying to get a promotion to uh clipboard carrier I don't know but it's just bad all the way around so uh be careful with the live mascots out there and make sure they're going early or maybe it's just all part of the plan maybe you want this to happen so you're sick but I respect it last headline that I could not pass up was our guy Rush Probst Rush probes do you know him two days he coached in Georgia for a little bit and Rush probes is now coaching at Pell City in Alabama back in his you know back in his Alabama roots after coaching at Hoover for all those years well Pell City was taken on Moody and Moody just didn't describe the high school football team it described Rush probes that night so there's a fight in the ball game and Rush probe's son John David is a wide receiver for the Pell City football team so as the story goes according to al.com Joseph Goodman is all over this John David tries to run out there in the fight well if you grew up in the south in a certain generation then you know Dad's belt is not too far away if you're acting up well tonight it wasn't coach's belt that uh landed upside the head of his son and it wasn't Rush probes his head that ended up in another player's helmet because you know he's done that and he's head-butted a player in bled all over the place you know maybe he did that for TV who knows but the sideshow for Coach Prost is always going to travel and Coach instead of just restraining his son throws his headset at John David's helmet and breaks the whole headset and the reporting here says that there was a team ready to repair the headset Rush probes has a pit crew with him at all times you never know it could happen uh coach broke his headset we knew that was going to happen let's let's get it fixed up it took a couple Phillips heads to it and uh some WD-40 and got it back together but uh look this is this is not a great headline for Rush probes but it's also not the worst if you know his career history could be a lot worse for Old Coach but listen son you don't get in a fight if you do you're going to get my head set upside your head and according to coach John David still has some discipline that he will handle internally as if the the headset in front of all his buddies wasn't enough yes son we're gonna handle this at home thanks for sending those stories in send them in each and every week at go Coffee Town on Twitter X go
