Today I woke up super pumped about figuring out the New West High 2024 football season. Kept hearing rumblings about some massive games, but finding the actual schedule felt like pulling teeth. Started simple: grabbed my phone, fired up the search engine, and punched in “New West High 2024 Football Schedule”.
Boom. Tons of results, right? Wrong. Mostly dead links from last year or generic booster club pages yelling “Go Lions!” but zero details. Clicked through maybe ten pages, each one a bigger waste of time than the last. Saw some district athletics sites, but navigating those was like walking through molasses. Seriously considered throwing my coffee mug.
Finally had a brainwave. Pulled up last year’s schedule archive – at least I knew that was solid. Spotted the Athletic Director’s name listed: Mr. Henderson. Quick search for his direct contact? Nada. So, dialed the main school number. Got bounced around between three different folks, each one telling me to try someone else. Total phone tennis. My patience was wearing thinner than cheap socks.
Hung up, frustrated. Stared at my notes. Saw the booster club president’s contact on an old flyer I’d snapped a pic of months back. Figured, what the heck? Sent her a desperate text: “Hey Ms. Davies, any luck getting the ’24 football matchups? Been searching all morning!” Hit send and held my breath.
Five minutes later, sweet relief! My phone buzzed. She replied: “Just got the final list yesterday! Hold tight…” Felt like winning the lottery. Another ping. There it was – a simple text list. My eyes practically scanned it at lightspeed. Holy smokes!
- Week 3: Home vs. Southridge Hawks (huge rivalry, always messy)
- Week 6: AWAY at Jefferson Tech (defending champs, gonna be brutal)
- Week 8: Home vs. Northgate Titans (Friday night lights, prime time!)
- Week 10: AWAY at Franklin Grove (season closer, always fireworks)
This isn’t just any schedule – these are bangers! That Jefferson Tech game especially. Those guys have been steamrolling everyone for two seasons straight. Gonna need the whole town there for that one. I immediately scribbled it all down on my calendar, underlined the big ones twice. Also texted my buddy who coaches youth league – he needs to get his kids to these games for sure.
Whole process took me way longer than it should’ve, honestly. Probably wasted a good hour clicking dead links and playing phone tag. But man, scoring that final list? Totally worth the hassle. Now everyone’s asking me for the details. Feels good to crack the code! Time to clear my Friday nights this fall.
