Meigs Middle School had its final football game of the season against crosstown rival Pryor. It had been raining all week, but luckily, there was a break in the weather. We took advantage of the sunshine to get some pregame pictures. Bode looks like a giant standing next to Ashley.
The "little man" is giving me a run for my money...
We got to the game and found some seats. We sit right next to the band, which is actually right on the 40-yard line. I snuck a quick picture of Bode with his buddy hanging out before the game.
The game wasn't very competitive. Meigs played well to start the game, but Bode told us their QB isn't that great; he was right in that the QB threw four or five interceptions, which certainly didn't help. Still, there were some times we cheered, like when Meigs had a 75-yard TD run. And it is always fun to listen to the band. At halftime, the band played on the field; note the band is a little bigger because at the final game, members from the Choctaw High School band come and support the Meigs band. First, here's a picture of Bode walking out to the field.
The band played three songs, and the final one was the Meigs school song. The 8th-graders were up front and visible for all to see and cheer.
At the end of the game, the 8th-graders all headed over to the sideline for a final picture at their final football game. I didn't want to run over and possibly embarrass Bode, so I tried to get something from a distance; this was the best I could do.
It is hard to believe the next football band game we watch will be when Bode is in high school...very scary :-) Pleasant day to all!
