The Tigers opened tonight for the first home game of the '08 football season. The Tigers were battling the Toronto Red Knights. Everyone else in the stadium was fighting off the gnats. They were thick but you'll get that on a hot August night with high humidity.
The Tigers won the game. Think the final was 46-14 and that was impressive to me. Toronto is always a tough game. Being an arch rival you never know what is going to happen when they start butting heads. Since I didn't stick around too long I'll let you get a better account of the game from the morning papers tomorrow.
By the time I got home and dialed up WKMX Live on the 'puter the game was well in hand. The announcers did mention something about the Tigers regrouping at half time.
Prior to the game they had the induction of this years class to the WHS Atheletic Hall-of-Fame. Pictured above is this years honorees. That's young "Pick" Rolley standing in front. The next picture is of the Tigers getting ready to take the field. WKMX live was there and that's the announcers calling the game. Terry Brown said those guys are getting like old pros. Terry got the audio up to snuff and they sounded really good. That's Joe Surace, Roger Miller & Bud Ceniviva in the booth. The last picture is of the Tigers in action early in the 1st quarter.
It was a beautiful night for a game. Next time I'll lather down with bug-off before I leave home. Congratulations to the Tigers and the coaching staff on an impressive victory. Next Friday they travel to Lisbon. WKMX Live will be there if you can't make it.
Good luck guys. Keep up the good work. It don't get much better than this, winning football and all. Life is good...
