A little nostalgic!!

I decided at the last minute to go to the FWB/Pine Forest football game last night at Etheridge stadium. It was the last game of the season before the playoffs and being on a Thursday night I figured the crowd would be small. FWB lost 28-18 behind an explosive Pine Forest rushing attack. For all the upcoming opponents of the Vikings in the playoffs I have the answer on how to beat them....run around the outside. Speed kills and FWB got squashed by a super fast Eagle team. Next week they play Pace in the first round of the state playoffs. Personally the Vikes (4-5) don't stand a chance of advancing far in the tourny but I will be behind them 100%. Right before the Pride of the Miracle Strip took the field to perform the halftime show Alexis Tibits the principal of FWBHS came on the PA and announced this would be the last home game ever played by the Vikings at Etheridge Stadium. I sat a reminisced about all the good times I have had over the past 25 years or so at that stadium. Growing up with a mom that was a Choctaw grad but knowing I was always a Viking. Watching so many games with just me and my dad, and the absolutely incredible years at FWBHS in the band and all the friends I made and still have due to that period in my life. In a way it was sad..... so I say thanks Etheridge for all the memories for me and every other Viking that has ever stepped foot on your field. We will be forever grateful.
