Friday Night Football

The first week of fall meant a father-son trip to the local high school football game. The Tonganoxie Chieftains took on an inner-city team from Kansas City at Beaty Field. It wasn't much of a game with Tongie dominating the Wyandotte Bulldogs 34-8. Perhaps the most entertaining part of the evening was when a breaker blew and some of the lights went out (see picture) delaying the game. All the moths had to migrate to our side of the field. What a shame. What a game.

Hometown Football Game

The Friday Night Lights were on in Tonganoxie and we were there at Beatty Field to watch the Tonganoxie Cheiftains take on the Perry-Lecomptan Kaws. From the opening kickoff the Cheiftains were ... well ... let's just say the band was more entertaining to watch. But the atmosphere was fun ... the cheerleaders were spirited and of course it wouldn't be a football game in the Midwest without a little barbeque. Final score was something like 33-20.
