We had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful Rustburg Football Stadium on Friday night. What a beautiful setting. Tree lined and nestled below the nearby hills. My traveling companion Bleeding Navy had been to the stadium previously but he was still duly impressed As well.
Rustburg played with a lot of heart, but Glass just had too much speed. And the Glass defense was aggressive in pursuit of the ball carrier. They tackled with a vengeance. Navy was highly impressed with the passing ability of the Glass QB. He had a good arm, and was spot on with most of his passes. #21 for Glass is a heck of a player, but he needs to dial his aggression back a notch. He hurt his team at least twice with personal foul penalties. It didn't affect the outcome last night, but in close games, and typically during playoff games, it can mean the difference between winning and losing.
If I had any one criticism of my Rustburg experience, it would be the single “slow” entry gate. Knowing from experience how difficult it can be to find workers of some Friday nights, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt. Also, I do believe that this is the only football game that I have been to that did not have a separate pass gate. I found that strange. Having said that, when we finally got to the gate, the ladies working the gate were very friendly.
And speaking of friendly, the lady at the concession stand was a hoot. I’m sure she is a regular because she seemed to know everybody. Small things like the way people are treated, like in these two incidents, goes a long way to developing a positive reputation, and setting the right example for the kids. After all, that is what it’s supposed to be about, doing the right thing for the kids.
Navy and I are sacrificing ourselves for the good of the readers here on Preps, by sampling and rating the food, especially the hot dogs, everywhere that we travel to a game. It’s a thought dirty job, but somebody has to do it. We found the hot dogs at Rustburg excellent. We would give them four out of five stars. And we are saving a five star rating for a hot dog that may not even exist. That tells you how good they are.
We had a great time, loved the atmosphere, and were impressed by the extensive recognition of the seniors on senior night. (But, the announcer did get a tad long winded). We thank you for the hospitality, and wish the Rustburg team nothing but the best in the future.
