Thousands of people filled the stands at Paradise High School — which was spared from deadly wildfires less than a year ago — to watch the football team missing more than a third of its players play its first game since losing everything.
It is heaps of melted metal. It is scorched pine trees. It is a place where things used to be, before a fire destroyed nearly 19,000 structures and killed 86 people last November.

"Everyone felt like, in a way that, we had the town on our back," Hartley said."We had the responsibility of winning tonight, so that's what we went out here and did." "I think this is going to show people that is not gone," said 38-year-old Jennifer Siemens, who came to the field hours early to reserve a seat, hiding from the sun beneath a pink and blue umbrella."So many people have donated and helped us from all over the country. Now they can see why, you know?"
