Strange days

So earlier this week I did something I hadn’t done … well, ever. I’ve been voting in the statewide prep football poll for The Associated Press for about six years now and one thing has remained constatnt.
Ok, Class 4-A, No 1. Charlotte Independence. Good. One spot down…
But this week, after Independence lost 21-20 to Matthews Butler, a seismic shock to the high school gridiron around here, I had to move them to … gasp … second.
It was strange.
It was like going to Zack’s and not getting a hot dog.
It was like a Western Alamance home game with only a modest crowd.
It was like a state championship weekend in football without an Alamance County team.It was like someone other than Jeff Gordon or Jimmie Johnson winning a NASCAR race.
It was like seeing a Cummings team that runs the ball. (Wait, we’ve seen that.)
It was like me playing No. 15 at Southwick and not taking at least double.
Needless to say, it felt really weird.
Come to think of it, a combo dog does sound good right about now.
