The Big Game and The Fireworks

Well, to be honest, we didn't do all that well in the big Homecoming game. We lost 38-22 to the Erie Tigers. We did fairly well, all things considered, but we had a hard time stopping their passing game and gave up a couple of really long runs at critical points in the game.

What was fun, however, was the fact that we had fireworks for the game. Apparently, an alumnus of Highland High does fireworks for a living and every year, gives Highland a fireworks show, pretty much at cost. For a tiny little town Homecoming Game, the show was pretty nice. They also shot off big booming fireworks every time Highland scored. Guess who got to alert the fireworks people to shoot of their rockets after a score? Yeah, me! I had a little walkie-talkie system and when we would score, I would open a channel and shout, "Fireworks! Fireworks! Fireworks!" A few seconds later, loud explosions would occur in the sky. That was pretty cool.

Another nice part of the game was that Shannon brought the kids out to see the fireworks. They seemed to like them!

However, by the end of the evening, I was dead-ass tired. What a long, long, long week.
