Everything Was Perfect

The Mustangs win 48-6 over Levelland, the meal at Allen's Chicken was perfect, the weather cooperated, the pep rally was neat to see, and I enjoyed the parade, and got to visit with some good friends. All in all, it was a perfect homecoming.
We got our tickets early and was able to sit right behind the Mustang Bench. The "war paint" was evident, especially on # 71. We got to see up close and personal the determination our team had. I have several thoughts I will comment on later, but suffice it to say it was a blowout that rewarded the Homecoming crowd this evening. On this evening, the last football Friday before district play, was an evening to just play hard-nosed football without the district race implications. This one was for the fans. And the team came through.
Speed kills, and paybacks are tough. So after Levelland was penalized 15 yards for pulling Jeremy Thompson's facemask early in the 2nd quarter, the QB took the next snap and promptly ran about 80 yards for the score, and the onslaught was on. Take that Loboes.
I suppose the only downside to the entire day was our small band. Now don't get me wrong, the kids who were in the band played their hearts out and they did a great job, but it was embarrassing to me to only see such a small band.
That would be the responsibility of school officials, not the kids, to grow the band. But that's another story on another day.
It was good to visit with Clifford Ashley, Norbert Zimmerman and their wives. It was super to get to visit with Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Smith, (Yes Caleb, we talked about you
It was a perfect day and evening.

Glad the ex's had a good time at homecoming.
Sweetwater faces a big task with Wyile this Friday. Lew keep up the good work, the Mustangs need solid fans like you.
