Observations at a high school basketball game

Away game for high school basketball. When you go to a game as a visitor they don't give much room for you to sit. So when you arive you are probably not going to find as good of a seat you would have if it was a home game. So we find seats 3 rows up in the top section above a railing. We aren't there long when we realize that there is a big sign on the railing marking most of the lower set of bleachers as being reserved seating. This sign blocks about half of one end of the court. But at least no one else wants to sit there so we do not have anyone directly in front of us or with their knees in our backs. We missed a lot of the action though.

Next observation was all these teen agers and some younger that are constantly going out. Which makes you miss a little more of the action. If you are going to come to a game sit down and watch it. After all you would have paid $5 to get in. 3 of these girls had dolls that they were probably needing to take care of like a baby for a class in school. So they were in and out over and over carrying around these dolls. Often holding a bottle to it's mouth and trying to go up and down the bleachers, holding the doll in a way that it's sensors would not put a bad mark for them.

Then close to the end of the game a man that could barely walk come down from up about 6 or 7 rows in the bleacher. With about 3 or 4 people helping him I was still nervous that we would see him fall. We wondered how did he get up there and why would you go up that high when you can just barely walk. I don't want to get old. But when I do I sure hope I have enough sense if I'm going to go where there is bleachers I'm going to sit on the bottom. Even if half of the court is blocked by the big sign on the railing below you.
