Dave Caldwell is a former New Era sports writer who went on to a great career covering college football for the Dallas Morning News and now writes on a free-lance basis for the New York Times. He recently sent me the link to a story he wrote about coming back to his alma mater, Warwick High School, to watch a football game earlier this season.

 I don’t know Dave personally — he had moved on well before my tenure at the New Era began — but we’ve been exchanging emails for quite some time. He’s a very good writer, and this piece on his unofficial homecoming struck a chord with me. I get some of the same feelings he describes when I’m walking into whatever high school stadium I’m heading to on Friday nights. I’m hoping to take a similar trip down memory lane sometime soon to watch my alma mater, Schuylkill Haven, in its quest for a District 11 Class A title.

Anyway, I thought it would be something a L-L League football fan would enjoy. If you’ve got a few minutes, check out this link:
