Friday Night Lights

What a great movie! One of my personal favorites. But this post is not about the Permian High School Panthers in Texas, however, it is about high school football. Tonight, I covered South High's game against town-rival West High. I can't remember the last time I watched a football game outside of the NFL under the lights at night. I think it was my freshman year in High School. It was a cool experience for sure!

As for tonight's game, it went from exciting to extremely boring to one of the best finishes possible. South was 0-3 entering the game, big underdogs to the 3-0 Warriors from West. I won't give away all of the game, as you'll be able to see it on my package this coming week. However, South kept things close with West all game long, played tough defense, and ended up coming back with two clutch fourth quarter drives. What a great end to a good defensive battle all game long. The team and the fans were going nuts!

Below is a picture that I took from tonight's game. Sorry about the quality, but my phone is not the best at taking pictures. South High has the new field turf which they installed this year and it looks fantastic. The facility is very nice for High School and the school had everything I wish my high school had: A nice field, a great crowd, a marching band, and lights.


I had a good time tonight getting to cover a high school football game and look forward to doing so again soon. As for the rest of my weekend, I have a packed schedule. Saturday morning will include editing my package in the morning then the Kings Season Opener at night at Staples Center against the Coyotes. Then, a bunch of us are spending the day at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Sunday. For those who know me, I love roller coasters. Considering there are 17 at the park, I will be set for the day! Check back during the weekend for blog posts about both events!
