Last night was a wonderful night for this lady! Mitchell is home from Okinawa for two weeks and he drove up to our house to stay a few nights. And of course, Friday night is Football night so we piled in the car to drive to the away game. It was a beautiful night weather wise (to begin with) and Marc started off the game with a great tackle. It only got better from there as the Pioneers went on to dominate the opposition and Marcus turned in another solid game of defense. The clock was ticking down and we had 51 seconds left in the game, when we noticed Marc going out on the field. The only problem was that we were on offense. Marc doesn't play offense.....we were baffled. And then the most amazing thing happened. The QB gets the ball and hands it off to Marc who ran that puppy down the field like he was born to be a running back. Defenders were coming at him and he did a little fake move, moving around them to the right. He then turned on the speed and was cruising down the field until he met about four other defenders. He then tried out a spin move but alas, it didn't work and his run was ended about twenty yards short of the endzone. The Pioneers on the field, sideline, and in the stands went wild with laughter and cheers. Marc did it for his brother. He wanted to score that touchdown for Mitch!! And the coaches were generous enough to give the boy a chance to do it!! This photo means the world to me. It was a great night indeed!!

  3. Sounds awesome! Takes me back. I don't enjoy watching football on TV, but in person, the crisp fall air and the smell of popcorn and hotdogs is so exhilarating. Not to mention the excitement that is almost palpable on the field and on the bleachers. Thanks for sharing.
