Will's First High School Football Game

Will had never been to a high school football game, him being British and all. Thank goodness our friend (who happens to be our tenant) coaches a championship high school cheerleading team which happens to cheer for a winning high school football team on Friday nights so we could rectify that situation.

For the cost of $5, Will got to experience, for a night, what American high school is all about. He isn't too sure that he missed much by going to school in England.

The marching band and the drill corp confused Will more than impressed. Maybe it was because we were trying to figure out which video game went with each song in their video game theme song montage. We only got Super Mario Brothers....

It being a rather chilly night, the girls wear warming uniforms. But the football team was doing great! Three touch downs before half time!

For the most part, the crowd (or the cheerleaders) didn't follow the game, which the blue team ended up winning. But I was trying to think, did I *really* know what a first down was in high school when I attended the games? I don't think so.

afternote: Will said that there was more going on at this game than any professional league team game he has attended. "It's all over the top, isn't it really?" Why yes, and you didn't even see a Homecoming game!
