We Won - 13 to 7

It was a nail batting game with more fumbles and interceptions than I could keep count of, but in the end Bob Jones prevailed with a final score of 13 to 7.  Here is a photo of the kid with a few of her guard members!

Warming up For Half Time

The band is out of the stands warming up for half time.  The score is tied 7 to 7 with 4 minutes left in the first half of the game.

Friday Night Lights Florence Alabama

We are in Florence Alabama for this weeks game.  Two minutes left in the first quarter Bob Jones is ahead by 7.  The Florence Falcons are in possession of the ball on the 21st line with a first down.  It looks like they are driving towards their own touch down.  This will be a fun and fast game!

House Divided Bob Jones Vs. James Clements

Our game is off with a bang!.  Tonight we have the two rival Madison City High School squared up for the game of the season.  As you will recall James Clements is the second high school to open in the Madison City school system.  When the doors first opened last year we lost quite a few students to new zoning and  many football players along with band and guard members.

It is a very emotional game to say the least and due to liberal waivers for seniors and those playing sports many have kids in both schools. So we are on the side of Big Red and JC is Big Blue .  I will keep you posted as the game progresses.

Final score 48 to 20..Bob Jones

Friday Night lights

It is Friday and we are perched upon our favorite concrete seats to watch firsthand the Bob Jones Patriots play North Ridge High School out of Tuscaloosa, Alabama.  The score in the first quarter is 6 to nothing in favor of Bob Jones. 

We just had a 40 yard pass return which puts us 1st and goal.  It is going to be an exciting night.  Stay tuned for pics of the half time.

Friday Night Throw Down!

Well, we found out quick you can leave the State of Tn, but somehow it will just follow you! On Friday night in a non-league game, our daughter's high school played against the West Creek Coyotes from no other than our former home town ...say what? Since when did High School Football teams begin traveling 2.5 hours to a neighboring state to play a non-league game? It makes no sense to me, but what made perfect sense was the total "stomping" we put on them. The score looked more akin to a basketball game vs. a football game, well at least on the patriots side.

One thing is for certain the Patriots sent those Coyotes back home with their tails firmly tucked behind them!

Friday Night Football

It is that time of year ... time for Friday Night Football! Our daughter is jazzed about attending her first 'official' High School football game. I am thankful for the parents who volunteered to take a van (yep, you read right) a van full of teenage girls to a football game and act as chaperone's! Not sure there is enough popcorn and soda in the concession stand for me to sign on for that duty !

We wish our wonderful Patriots the best of luck at tonight's jamboree!
