No, it wasn't Halloween, but the JV football game at Versailles was definitely drizzly. I didn't take my camera for the last game of the season, BUT i was smart enough to have my rain slicker in the car and a hooded sweat shirt. However, I couldn't figure out why Lee was standing on the sidelines and didn't get to play - had the viruses knocked him down, had he played the tuba at the wrong time, what??? Well as the game ended, they said that was the last Freshman Game of the year!!! Duhhh. Every time I've watched in Eldon the JV played first. The frosh didn't look too good, but Versailles had a kid named Turbin?? that was mentioned A LOT by the announcer.
JV game was close until the last 3 minutes. Lee played all offense and some defense. Eldon didn't have many penalties, but Versailles was going backwards faster at times than forwards. Hey Lee, what was wrong with your shoe in the third quarter?? Were you the one carrying the ball on an end around when the three Tigers were waiting on your side of the line behind your "blockers"?? I think you should practice kicking during the off season. Eldon definitely needs help in this part of the game. The only kick the Mustangs tried went about 5 yards!!! Coach decided to go for it on 4th downs after that.
I was very impressed with the facilities. I think it was called the Edna Walton Complex. Must be some Wal-Mart profits involved!! The track was great, the "green" grass very lush and the stadium was better than Wayne States while I was in high school and college.
My most fun part of the eve was the hot pretzel with cheese dipping which I got at half time and missed some of the third quarter. The regular heated chamber was empty, so they had to heat the pretzel in the microwave and then the pretzel broke and then it had to have salt put on it. Didn't know a simple "Philly" pretzel could be soooo much work.
