Clay in the Hands

I thought I would do something a little out of the ordinary for the post today.  Last Friday night I was a loyal fan and made the one hour trek to our season opener high school football game.   The weather was perfect and the stands were full.  I thought I would share with you the top 5 things I heard in the stands at the game.  Here we go (imagine if you will a drum roll).

5.  “Get him Coach Goot!” (Our new coach is Coach Guitierez, I don’t think it is that people can’t pronounce his name, it’s just that, “Get him Coach Guitierez” just doesn’t chant as well)

4.  “Now that’s how you ride a mule!” (The team we played were the Mules)

3.  “Come on ref, your cheatin’ a bunch of kids!” (No explanation needed)

2.  “You mean I have to walk all the way over there to get something to drink?!” (They had one concession stand for the entire stadium and yes, it was not on our side!)

1.  “They played with heart and they never gave up!”

It was a good game despite the outcome.  Our boys played hard and they never gave up.  It takes heart to do that – a lesson from which we could all learn a little something.

Oh, just a word of warning, if you are sitting beside me at the next game, give me some room for the occasional jump to my fee to yell AND be careful what you say, it may end up on the next post!

Have a great week!
