Friday Night Football

This was our view from about halfway up in the (cold) bleachers.

The school is pretty cool at night.

Omaha Central made the high school football players and scored a huge upset (over No. 2 Kearney) in the first round. So we decided to attend the Eagles' quarterfinal game against Creighton Prep tonight.

We knew it was going to be cold so we bundled up and also took a blanket. I also told the girls that no one could ask when we were leaving until after the halftime show was wrapped up. For the most part, they did a good job doing that.

Central was playing without its No. 1 quarterback and Prep had beaten the Eagles once already this season. Add that up and it equals a 10-0 halftime lead for the Junior Jays. We left after halftime and they ended up losing 28-14. But it was nice to show some support for Emily's school and she's still ahead of me in school state titles won at this point (two: both in basketball last year) in her high school career.
