Rooting interest

Maybe this has changed.

But, as I understood it, there was a time when kids on my nondescript South Hill block went to LC. And kids living across the street were within the enrollment boundaries for Ferris.

Maybe that’s still the case.

If so, it raises an issue. By rights, I suppose I should root for LC. But there are two preschool boys belonging to two families across the street. Their first names are Franklin and Finnigan. They might grow up to be star running backs or power forwards for Ferris.

I would have to root for them. Even when they played against the LC Tigers, my boundary-line home team.

Of course, I will root for F&F even if they show no interest in sports.

But I think there probably will be a simple solution to this minor dllemma.

All of us might have moved by the time the boys are ready for high school.
