Friday Night Lights

Tonight I will be cheering on the UNDEFEATED 6A Southmoore Sabercats at their Homecoming Game. This is the second school year for the new Highschool, so it's not my Alma Mater. I was a Westmoore Jaguar.


Our big rival back in the day were the Moore Lions. It was called "Moore War." Now with the new highschool, it threw a kink in the Moore rivalry tradition. The school district decided to keep the "Moore War" between Moore and Westmoore. The game between Southmoore and Westmoore is called the "South/West Showdown" which I think is completely clever. The game between Moore and Southmoore has some clever name too, but I forget what it is.


However, my baby sister is a Junior at Southmoore, and I have to support her team! Her boyfriend is the Quarterback, also a junior. He is ranked the best in the state, and is being recruited by the Oklahoma Sooners AND the Florida Gators. How's that for irony? gerherhhahahha!

He spent a portion over the summer at football camps with the Gators, and just before the school year started Coach Meyer even called him on his cell phone, just to ask how it was going. Then Coach Meyer handed the phone over to the one and only Tim Tebow. (I'm fairly certain that coaches shouldn't be calling kids until they are seniors, but it really did make his day.)


His dad was a Quarterback for the Sooners under Barry Switzer, so football runs in his blood. And because Southmoore has had an awesome season so far, my sisters boyfriend and his dad, along with the football coaches have been surrounded in accusations about recruiting for the team. Which is ludicrous. The Sabercats just happen to be rockstar football players.

Anyway, here's to another victory, and an undefeated season!
