The goal, of course, is to win the game. We were playing a team who beat us last year. I wasn't too optimistic! Silly me! Final score was Falcons 49, Bison 0. And in case you're keeping a push-up tally, that was 196 push-ups! I heard through the grapevine, though I was never able to confirm it, that the final score of the sophomore game was Falcons 95, Bison 0. Yikes!) Our coach put in his second string for much of the second half, so everybody got to play, and the score didn't become even more lopsided. We were FIRED UP!
For the princess, this night was GREAT because JV and Varsity cheered together. She actually had a student section to cheer to (most JV games host only parents), and she had a blast. Their half time show was GREAT, and I'll try to post it here, but I'm pretty sure it's too big.
After the game there was a dance. The prince attended but the princess opted out. She spent the night with her bff instead and then headed to a morning game to cheer some more!
What I don't have a photo of is the beginning of the game when the Falcons, instead of doing individual introductions of each player, asked to be introduced as a team and then stormed the 50 yard line. It was great.
Also funny was the announcer at one point, "That was (insert player name here), tackled by a heard of bison." HILARIOUS!
This photo was snapped by a professional photographer
right before the players came on the field.
The princess is back, center.
She got to hold the banner they ripped through.
She said that's a lot harder than it looks!
The National Anthem.
It's hard to see in this photo,
but they each put their left shoe on top of
the right shoe of the person standing on their left.
Even the prince does this!
My babies!
The princess is the 5th person in line.
After the big win!
The team thanking the pep band after the game!
The students are allowed to storm the field after the game.
Check out the helmets in the center!
They let the kids on the field in small groups so no one is injured!
The cheerleaders went first.
The princess said it was quite stinky in the middle of the mayhem!

Not the best football game as it was such a blow-out, good thing the cheer/stunt team was there to keep me entertained. The halftime show was really good and I liked the funky-chicken-dance cheer the best!
