The Will to Win

On December 9, 2018 By wastedpilgrimIn SportsLeave a comment

Clinton, South Carolina, Saturday, December 8, 2018, 7:47 p.m. I love the Army-Navy Game. It doesn’t matter if both teams have losing records (which Army doesn’t this year). It’s always hardfought.

Clinton, South Carolina, Thursday, August 23, 2018, 10:11 a.m. Two days ago, I ate at KFC for the first time since the horrible commercials started.

Clinton, South Carolina, Saturday, August 26, 2017, 10:58 a.m. There are those who believe I waste my talents tramping around small-town football stadiums writing about what I see. They are so wrong. Last night Laurens held off Clinton, 24-18. In a small tract of land known as Laurens County, named after a statesman from the …

High School Football Carries Me Away

On August 12, 2017 By wastedpilgrimIn SportsLeave a comment

I would normally post this blog at montedutton.com, which, at the moment, is out of order, and I tried and failed to fix it yesterday, and I just don’t have time to fool with it anymore ... now. Clinton, South Carolina, Saturday, August 12, 2017, 12:00 p.m. Who knows what football season will bring? Clinton …
