Pickens County Friday Night Football Frenzy
By Diana McDaniel
Pickens County will play host to neighboring Gilmer
County on Friday night at PCHS. Pickens County is
ALL about PCHS Dragon's football and will likely turn
out in groves for this rivalry home game, cheering loud
ly for the victory!
The unique thing about this Friday night is that there
will be 2 High school football games going on at the
same time in Pickens County with one of them at Jasper
Middle School Field. What a lot of Pickens Countians
may not know is that the North Georgia Falcons Home
School Football team was also birthed in Pickens
County in November 2003, although the Falcons have
never played a game in Pickens County.
Through a set of circumstances, the Dragons will
share a little of the ‘Friday Night Lights’ of Pickens with
the North Georgia Falcons on this Friday night! This
will not be a competitive spotlight, as all teams have
their own fan bases that will hardly cross lines of gate
attendance, but will be an exciting time that will cross
the county lines from Floyd to Whitfield to Gilmer to
Pickens to Cherokee to Forsyth! This will brighten the
Friday Night Lights of Pickens and enhance the unique
aromas of Football Fridays around the county. The
weather should be perfect with clear skies in the high
60’s and the smell of hotdogs will permeate the air in a
bigger way than usual the growl of a hard hit tackle
will echo through the mountains!
North Georgia will be playing host to Christian
Heritage from Dalton, Ga. This is a rivalry game that
will be the deciding factor for the 1st place seed in the
GFC Football Conference. The Falcons are undefeated
with a 6 - 0 record and Christian Heritage has a 5 - 1
record thus far.
The Dragons will always be ‘King’ in Pickens
County, but for one Friday night, they will run with a
growing ‘Falcon’ riding on their shoulders.
Barefoot running is better for your feet
(SPM Wire) Don’t go
tossing out all your shoes
just yet. Scientists at
Harvard have found that
people who run barefoot or
in minimal footwear are
less likely to damage and
hurt their feet than those
who run in shoes.
But before you cast
aside those expensive jog
ging shoes, pay heed to the
researchers’ calls to ease
into barefoot running and
to choose your running
surfaces wisely.
The key is in what’s
known as “heel-striking.”
Barefoot runners tend to
land on the ball or the mid
dle of their feet when run
ning, whereas runners in
shoes typically land on
their heels.
“People who don’t wear
shoes when they run have
an astonishingly different
strike,” says Daniel E.
Lieberman, professor of
human evolutionary biolo
gy at Harvard University
and co-author of the new
research, which recently
was published in the jour
nal “Nature.”
“By landing on the mid
dle or front of the foot,
barefoot runners have
almost no impact collision,
much less than most shod
runners generate when
they heel-strike,” he says.
“Most people today think
barefoot running is danger
ous and hints, but actually
you can run barefoot on the
world’s hardest surfaces
without the slightest dis
comfort and pain. All you
need is a few calluses to
avoid roughing up the skin
of the foot. Further, it
might be less injurious
than the way some people
run in shoes.”
It’s not just landing on
your heels that can cause
injury, say the scientists;
it’s the basic position of
your foot and leg when
you run in shoes that can
cause you to repeatedly
experience potentially
harmful impacts.
By studying runners in
the United States and
Kenya, Lieberman and fel
low researchers at
Harvard, the University of
Glasgow, and Moi
University in Kenya
examined the running
gaits of three groups: those
who always had run bare
foot, those who always
had worn shoes, and those
who converted to barefoot
running from running in
shoes.
The results were strik
ing. Most runners who
wear shoes — more than
75 percent of Americans
— heel-strike, causing a
very large and sudden col
lision force approximately
1,000 times during each
mile they run. Those run
ning barefoot, by compari
son, usually land with a
springy step toward the
middle or front of their
feet
Of course, if you’ve
always worn shoes and
heel-strike when running,
ease into barefoot running,
say the experts. Today’s
running shoes have been
designed to make it easy
and comfortable to heel-
strike, with heel cushions
that lessen the force of the
impact.
Just watch out for peb
bles and don’t barefoot run
when it’s too cold.
