Friday Night Lights

Last night my family and I attended our first Stephens County High School football game. First off.....I cannot believe how many people came out for this game...it was amazing. We planned on getting there about 7:00 for the 7:30 game. Surely that would have been fine....right? WRONG!!!! We hit a line about a half mile long out on Big A road going to "The Reservation." I ended up having to drop off everyone while I searched for parking. There were cars and people EVERYWHERE! I had been told that Toccoa was crazy about their football, but I totally underestimated the enthusiasm for this event. Amy, myself, our girls and my sister-inlaw and her husband hung out with Bryan, Kelda, Lisa, Doug, Stacy, Jason, Jennifer and Kel. I also saw Brown and Jo Evelyn while we were there. The first half was a little scary as SCHS got off to a slow start....but the second half rocked! Stephens County ended up winning and all was good. We all reconvened at Sonic afterwards for some ice cream, slushes, sweet tea (with refills) and a lot of fun. The whole night was great.....except that some redneck kept yelling "make 'em bleed!" at the top of his lungs during the game......
