Football Tonight: The Real GC

The Greene County Wildcats are traveling to Ocean Springs, MS tonight to play a preseason game. I can't wait for the regular season to start, but some football is better than no football. The team will have a devotion at 1:45 PM. I always attend these times to support them.

Finally, while at the High School today for lunch, I purchased a copy of a book I've wanted for a long time.

Y'ALL VS. US: Thrilling Tales of Mississippi's Hottest High School Football Rivalries

Included in Y'all Vs. Us is an indepth look at the rivalry between Greene County H.S. and George County H.S. While the game is credited with first being played in 1927, the High Schools were Leakesville and Lucedale. Since that time, the schools have consolidated and both are GCHS. The title for the chapter devoted to their rivalry is "The Real GC."

The cheerleaders for both the Rebels and Wildcats taunt one another every year with the cheer "GC what?" which begs the questions: Who is the real GC? The answer is: They both are. The George County Rebels and the Greene County Wildcats are both "for real."
