One of the things I love most about living in North Augusta is high school football. We love us some Yellow Jacket football around here! We aren't among the largest high schools in the state and we certainly don't have pricey facilities, but we make up for it in spunk and pizzazz. EVERYBODY comes to the high school games.
Our players run through a smoke filled helmet (no busting through wussy paper signs for us!) Some local guy does fly overs in his little plane (we've even had parachuters bring in the game ball before!)
There are tailgate parties, a great band, a real mascot, a "bod squad" of guys who paint themsleves up in the student section - it's just full out fun.
This year, it's been extra special because Amelia is enjoying her senior year as a cheerleader.
If you're a "Bachelorette" watcher - the guy in the picture is Ryan Bowers, local celebrity and one of the bachelors on this past season. Our first game was televised and he did the sideline commentary. You can tell the girls really hated that.
I think the expression on her face in these pictures says more than I could put into words as to how much she's enjoying it!
A new tradition is to let all the seniors run through the helmet during pre-game. They love it!
If you're feeling sorry for Ben because he's being neglected in all the photos - don't. I tried my best to take a few pictures of him enjoying his first game as an actual high school student but he's was having none of it. Someone else caught this one of him - with part of the"D-Fence" sign. You never know when he'll schmooze for the camera!
