For anyone who has gone to games at Lambeau field this year and have paid any attention to the halftime goings on can you tell me a bit about what the high school competition is.

My nephews school will be there on Sunday he had a chance to compete for it but they chose a couple of upperclassmen. Still it was pretty cool. He's a Bears fan but he was still pretty excited to get the chance to to try out.

What I have seen is they choose two HS football teams. How I don't know. The teams are made of the QB and two WRs.

Each team gets two throws. The team with the most accumulated yards wins. The slight advantage goes to the "home" team because they know how far they need to throw the ball. If the "visiting" team messes up their two chances the home team doesn't have to gamble. If the visiting team gets a long catch then the home team has to gamble and go for a longer play.

To make it a little more interesting the WRs can't simply start at the line of scrimmage and run 10 yards for a total of 20 yards. If the first receiver catches the ball 10 yards down field the second WR runs the first 10 yards before he gets to his starting point.

They rotate turns. Visiting team, home team, visiting team and home team. I can't remember if the plays are timed or not. The Packers are setting up other halftime items while this is going on. If they are not timed the teams are "encouraged" to complete their plays as quick as possible.

I usually attend the 5th home game with my son, which is tomorrow's game, but I let my son take his new bride in my stead.

Oh, the crowd usually is very supportive of the HS players. While many people are heading to the restrooms and concession stands there is still a pretty lard crowd cheering the guys on and applauding good plays.

The other football related halftime show is they get 4 teams of little kids out there. They must be 2nd or 3rd graders. They line 2 teams up at both 10 yard lines. And run a few plays each. Players who score get lifted up by one of the coaches to do a Lambeau Leap.

Each team has a separate offense and defense. No 2 way players that I can see. 4 plays to score and then take the ball back to the 10 and give the other team a chance. Coaches are on the field with the kids keeping them organized and running plays quickly.

It's a blast to see how excited they get. Every once in a while a Packer gives them a high five as they come back on to the field. The kids also like to high five the fans in the stands as they head into the Packers tunnel.

Thanks, I figured it was something like that. Tomorrow will be Wilmot Union High School (where my nephew goes) and Union Grove High School. I'm not sure how they were selected either. He was in class one day and the coach texted him and just said report to the field after school. Their season and thus practices was over so he had no idea what was going on.
