so my trip home was full of rain, cold, and cheap gas. but no victory party for the vikings.
with almost 2 inches of rain on the field, two teams both sporting blue and gold were ready to rumble saturday night - however, glendale was rumbling all over the ground. on the opening kick off, bellwood fumbled the ball which glendale recovered, but the ref's didn't call it - so, that began what was to be a long night of bellwood running up and down the field scoring and stopping us -- with the end scoring being 32-0 -- but you know ya have to give the boys from glendale credit -- they played their hearts out - they even blocked an extra point kick.
we got the game a bit early - trying to connect up with one of my friends - it was raining pretty heavy - but that didn't stop the faithful from the mountain -- glendale folks came out like nobody's busniess -- despite the rain the people came and stayed. it was pretty fun to be cheering along side folks i went to school with - by the end, my mom and i were soaked - and i mean soaked! my poor glasses - i kept having to wipe them off with my fingers -- i really needed windshield wipers on them -- i shoes are still wet!
despite the loss - the boys in blue and gold having alot to be proud of. . . they are the first glendale team to ever get that far in the playoffs - so way to go!
on a side note -- both glendale and bellwood's colors are blue and gold -- we are the vikings and they are the blue devils -- so, it was a bit hard to see which team was doing what, esp. since bellwood was sporting the blue jersey with the gold trim that glendale used to use when i was in school -- but we managed to spot them
better luck next year glendale!
