Senior girls poured it on the junior girls in the almost kindof rain Powder Puff football game. A little mud and a whole lot of slipping and sliding made is all that much more exciting. With a couple of the heaves from behind the line I thought Brent Farve had served as the training model.
The Parade was another hit. Sun and warmer temperatures would have aided in the event but the neighborhood knew there was a big game coming. The Marching Band is always appreciated and made a festive entrance and presence throughout the game.
The Lakers hit paydirt first and continued to bring on the points. I believe it was 26-6 at half time.
In a celebration mood, half time was the Performance Team, Marching Band and Homecoming Court with its own dance, I know there is a king and queen but everyone of the field were royalty in my mind.
Second half was more of the same and with 4 minutes left it was 42 to6 and coach played everyone and allow for for grace time ending in a final of 42-20.
Southwest Alumni were also present and the most historic class in attendance was the class of 1949. Lots of members of the different alumni groups were announced and recognized. A strong proud heritage of support and accomplishment. Hope to see alumni back at events throughout the year.
So this homecoming weekend is coming to close with the dance yet to start. The days have been cool (okay, cold at times) and wet but spirits were high with resounding outcry for community and pride.
Families, friends, neighbors and all that have gone before to make it possible surround the current students and silently proclaim - We are proud of you. We are proud to be Southwest!
