South Panola Football

Friday, October 21st, Charles and I enjoyed a nice pre-game meal at Guadalajara and then headed to Southaven to watch the South Panola Tigers take on the Southaven Chargers.
We arrived a little early and parked and made our way into the stadium. The Southaven ticket booth was nice enough to let us buy our tickets at the near booth and just walk through the stadium to our side rather than having to walk around everything to get to it. We managed to make it to the visitor's side and find some seats at the top of the bleachers. Pretty soon, it was time for the captains to take the field... and for the Tigers...

to take the field to much clapping and cheering...

The Tigers played well on offense...

as well as defense...

and really started working well as a team and putting it all together!

All year long, I have been watching Dashawn Lindsey (#7) and listening for his name on the radio games we've tuned in to listen to. He was one of Charles' baseball boys the first year he coached and was a great athlete and really great guy. I've told Charles each game that I wish that he would intercept the ball and run it back for a touchdown, and this game, that is exactly what he did!!

Once he intercepted the ball, Charles and I started cheering and kept right on cheering throughout the touchdown...and until he left the field... All his coaches and teammates were excited for him!

We saw him after the game and told him what a great job he did, how exciting the play was and that we were proud of him. He had the biggest smile on his face. We were glad that all his hard work paid off in such a big way - it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

At the end of the game, the Tigers were on top!

The final score - South Panola 44 - Southaven 21
It really was a fun game to watch!

The boys really played a good game!
