A sidebar about Radio:

I was on the sidelines with Radio during my less than illustrious high school football career a million years ago. Now I attend most of the Stratford HS home games, again mostly on the sidelines. What I find interesting is that there is not just one "Radio". A sizeable percentage of teams has a ball boy who meets the generic description in terms of age, mental ability, friendliness, and obvious devotion to his team and coach. Hollywood took more than a few liberties with the filming of Radio, not the least of which was to decide that downtown Walterboro looked more like Anderson circa 1976 than Anderson does. But the basic story is accurat and heartwarming and, I think, repeated in scores of football programs around the state.
