All season I've been wanting to take the kids to a high school football game. But with soccer on Saturdays we just haven't been able to. Well last week, Mom called to say that our High School is undefeated and in the Playoffs. The Westlake Rams were 12 - 0. So Friday night we bundled up and headed to the stadium. At half time the score was 0 - 0. This was truly a high energy, high impact, highly attended game. It was FUN and Fast. By the end of the game Westlake had taken over and played great "smash mouth" football.(I read that in the paper this morning) The final score was 27 - 0. RAMS WON! They are now 13 - 0. They will play Patterson, LA next Friday and if their streak continues they will head to the LA Superdome in New Orleans for the High School Championship game.
We had a great time reminiscing and seeing lots of familiar faces. I kept expecting to see Carla, Kim and Rachel walk across the track in their cheerleader skirts. I then kept checking the 3rd quarter clock to make sure I was back in the band stands after our half-time presentation. It was a little smack in the face when I realized those memories were so fresh and are at least 15 years old. Another slightly hard realization is that I taught the quarterback when he was in the Two year old class at Mother's Day Out! (Ouch!)
I did see my friend Kim on the sidelines. She gets special privildges and all since her dad is the Head Football Coach and has been for a very long time. I was just as happy for their family I was for the players.
Can't wait to see what happens next Friday night!!! Only, I guess I'll just need to hear about it!
