Eagle Football -- The Season Begins

You can sense it from the lengthening shadows leaning northward to the shortening of the days and the moderating of the temperatures -- fall is in the air. And so are the footballs.

Jacob's Thatcher Eagles took the field for the first time this season last night -- even though it was only a scrimmage against Tombstone Yellow Jackets. Here are some pictorial highlights...

No score was kept, but the coaches seemed satisfied with the effort. The season begins in earnest next Friday night with the first game. Not sure of the opponent.

This is Jacob's last hurrah on the gridiron so he's hoping to make the most of it. He should see more playing time on offense and defense. It's anyone's guess how the team will do this year.
