Parents Night

Friday Sept. 25, 2009 ~ Parent's Night, Paxton, NE
Friday nights mean football for us! Tonight is Parent's
night which is always fun. The sun was just going down
and the sky was a brilliant pink, purple and yellow. It
was amazing.

We stop for a picture before our turn to walk out on the
field. Tyler is a student manager so got to walk with us
too which was nice. Garrett has his 'game face' on! Thanks
for the rose Garrett!

Football Moms, Dads and players. We are standing in about
the middle of this picture.

The Tigers run through the lines of very excited fans!!
GO TIGERS!!! And #12!!

This scoreboard is no illusion! The Tigers are on fire tonight!
With 24 points on the board in the first quarter!!! The fans
are going crazy! There's a large crowd tonight with parents
night and also "white out" ( where everyone wears white),
there's lots of students and the band is all adding to the
fun and exciting atmosphere!!

Garrett (with ball) played some quarterback, corner
back and kick off during the game.

PAXTON TIGERS VS. POTTER-DIX COYOTES

Garrett had an awesome game! The whole

team was really pumped up and playing

the best they have.

This is the 'aftermath' of a hit Garrett made! They hit so

hard the crowd went "OOOOOOOO!" at the sound of it!!

The hit sent both Garrett and the opponent flying in

opposite directions!! I'm sure #5 was seeing stars as he

layed on the ground for awhile! Garrett had a lot of hard

hits all night. Garrett said that later the refs said they

hadn't officiated a game with as much hard hitting as this

one and they normally ref Class A schools!

With it being Parents Night, the Moms got to wear their

Sons' other jerseys which was fun. At half time some of us

posed for our own 'team' picture. We had a lot of fun doing

this and probably would've embarrased our kids if they'd

been out there to see us! :)

Garrett and Tyler talk some game. Next

year they will play on the same team and

both are excited for that.

Paxton kept the lead throughout the entire game!! Final

score was an unbelievable 66-42!!! The fans hit the field

and engulfed the team. The atmosphere was electric!

This is the first game in 4 years that Paxton has won! It's

been a long time coming that's for sure! The boys' work

hard each and every game and they were due for a "W"!

Way to go TIGERS!!!

We were so proud of Garrett, and of course thankful he

didn't get hurt! Grandma Grace and Grandma Cena came

to watch him play too and agreed it was the most exciting

game! The win was just what the boys' needed and we

hope they carry the momentum with them through the

rest of the season now that they know they can do it!
