This past weekend my Mom, Ben, & I loaded up and headed to Enid to watch my Uncle Mike's football team play. This is the closest they were going to be all year so off we went. My Dad would always make it to at least one of his games so we wanted to keep the tradition alive. The Dusters took on Oklahoma Bible Academy who was ranked number 1 in their class. It was great to see some of my family and felt even better we were there representing my Dad and keeping his spirit alive.
OBA's mascot is the Trojans and at the game they had a girl on a horse dressed in a football uniform. Every time they scored she would sprint down the sideline. I would have KILLED for this job in High School! Looks like I should have gone to OBA :)
Time for kick off! It was a perfect night for football!

There goes the horse! Lucky for us he didnt have a lot of running to do that night!

This is a tradition that goes back to when my Grandpa coached. After every game all the players come to the sidelines and applaud their parents and fans. Its their way of saying thank you for all the support. My Dad did it with all of his teams and my Uncle Mike does it too. I think it is such a nice touch and really shows true class.
Dusters win!!
I was trying to get a picture of the huddle and I have obviously failed. I had dropped my camera the week before and broke my regular sized lens so all I had was my big one. Didnt work out too well!
Congrats coach!
Hugs all around
Mom and Uncle Mike
The whole crew!
Congrats on a big win Dusters!!!
