When it comes to high school football stadiums, Cottingham Stadium, home of the Easton High School Red Rovers is a classic that dates back to 1924. The iconic concrete beachers were built in 1925.
This is the stadium where my sports journalism career began in the mid-70’s. While the grass may be a bit worn and the scoreboard a bit dated, nothing beats the home of the Rovers.
