friday night lights on saturday night

high school football season has begun in the state of texas.

when multiple schools in the same district share the same (really nice) stadium sometimes you play on friday night and sometimes you play on saturday nights.

we enjoyed a fun and relaxing saturday and finished it off tonight with the first game of the season for AHS (the school where i teach). we met up with some teacher friends, saw some former coworkers, and enjoyed a night of football. can i pause for a second to say i am so stinkin' excited for the beginning of football season of all kinds?! thanks. anyway, i enjoyed the opportunity to point out all of my current and former students on the team to lee. one of them scored a touchdown and others were in on quite a few plays on both sides of the line.some of my female students were also on the field during halftime performing. i have many girls who are "patriettes". they dance along with the band during the game as well as on their own at halftime. i was so into watching their performance and talking to friends that i forgot to get a shot of them. they are a really talented group of girls though.

oh yea...the eagles got their first win of the season with a 38-18 victory over south houston!
