FIFY. Correct you are about their tradition.
And this is technically high school, but I always loved how Millard's Buell Stadium was sunk into the grade of the hill it sits on. Somehow they managed to share this field between Millard North, Millard South and Millard West. As an adult, I now appreciate the logistics of scheduling two teams away in order to have one team's home game. Fortunately there were at least three games a year where two of the schools could just share the field against one another.
Shout out to Caniglia Field at UNO. I understand why they cut football, but this was a fun little stadium.

IIRC you went to Millard North, correct? I went to Millard South and used to play on the drumline so I marched on that field. I worked in the counseling office there briefly this past spring and noticed they installed a pretty sweet looking new jumbotron.
Renovations to Buell Stadium scoreboard
Buell Stadium is getting $400,000 scoreboards and jumbo screens.www.omaha.com
That's insane for a HS stadium. Imagine if they invested that money into their educational staff and resources to benefit students.
When Millard West came along, they started scheduling Thursday night games as well. And remember, at that time (late 1990s) the field was still GRASS! When I was there a few years earlier, Millard South had two freshmen teams, a sophomore team, a JV team, and a varsity team... and all games were played on that field. The grounds crew did a phenomenal job of keeping the grass in good shape.Shout out to Caniglia Field at UNO. I understand why they cut football, but this was a fun little stadium.
