A bear was seen in a high school football field in Gatlinburg Tennessee eight days ago running across the gridiron.
The good side of this story is that the high school football players who attend Gatlinburg-Pittman High School were getting out of the weight room when their coach Brad Waggoner had to let the bear run around the football field for a period of 10 minutes before the bear went back to the woods without anyone being in harm's way.

A bit frightening.
The good part is that the bear didn't came when the match was on.
Yet that means, some security personnel would have to keep a watch the next time.

That is true that a high school would have to hire more security guard to watch out for bears in the canpus area.

As much as I would love to see a live bear personally. I would keep away from being close to one.

That must have been exciting. I bet the coach was frantic.

The coach did take the appearance of the bear as just another day at the office.

You are right that bears are not to be messed with at all.
