I suppose that I can forgive you! I will tell you this, our football team was allowed to leave school in the morning for the trip across the state, and we watched Ace Ventura: Pet Detective on the bus on the way to Lakeland. None of our fans made the trip, and Lakeland fans sat behind our bench and taunted us the whole game. Rod "He Hate Me" Smart was one of the running backs along with Laconia Worlds. Why I remember that, I have no idea!
There is no such term as a "kicking ball" in NFHS rules. When a team scores a touchdown, the team is to use the same ball that was scored with, unless there was a change of possession on the scoring down, or the Referee determines a circumstance where another ball can be used for the try.

So the Clermont Highlanders and Groveland Greenbacks have been playing football since the 20’s, then shut down in 1992 with South Lake opening in 1993. So all the kids from Clermont had to go to South Lake.
in 2003, due to overcrowding East Ridge popped up giving Clermont their own school against after 10 years.
so South Lake vs East Ridge is just a continuation of Clermont vs Groveland.
This is the Lake County game of the year
I know of 2 in my life that I have experienced.
1. Poinciana vs Liberty. Prior to me taking over the program at Poinciana. The Eagles had never won this game. There was a trophy that was made to be passed between the schools, but it only had resided at liberty. Liberty was born from Poinciana high school zone. It was and still is the only thing that gets talked about during game week, in any sport. Poinciana has finally turned the tide and is winning at most sports now.
2. South Lake and East Ridge. This is my second year experiencing this rivalry. The kids all grew up together, know each other. Yet this was the nastiest game I have ever been a part of. There were more personal fouls than I can count. 90% of them were offsetting. I did truly believe the referees were getting paid per flag thrown. Parents talking smack in the stands, the whole student section on the visitors side chanting "score board" while the south lake team went into their field house adjacent to the visitor stands. East ridge was up 35-21 at half. One of the East ridge players was ejected in the 2nd half for throwing a punch at a player and coach, who was trying to break up the scuffle. It was so bad at the end of the game our SRO would not let us shake hands! By the way South lake scored 28 unanswered points in the second half to win!
