At long last

The season is over. I love covering high school football - it's by far the most popular thing we cover and with all due respect to other sports, it's our favorite. But that doesn't mean that come the end of the state title games, we're not ready for the season to end.
It started way back in the spring with our "Spring Blitz" previews, continued through our extensive 7-on-7 coverage and pretty much nonstop from July 25 through next week. Yes, that's right, we'll have a few more football-related stories in the next couple days, but for the most part the season is done.
I don't think anyone can be surprised at Katy's state title. I hadn't seen them in person since the North Shore game in Week Zero and they were a pleasure to watch today. I feel bad for Hightower, though, having come all this way and run into an absolute buzzsaw.
Chad and I will have a season-ending podcast Monday with thoughts on this weekend and a few lookbacks at the season.
Until then, I'm gonna head home, have a beer and take a few deep breaths.
