Hawkeyes vs. Eagles
Playoffs. Not a word you often expect to hear in relation to Monona Grove football. But this year something happened. We went 8-1 (7-0 in conference) and got first place. Therefore, the first-round playoff game was here. That was good because it meant I didn't have to drive anywhere and risk speeding tickets. However, it was also bad because it meant that the band had to march at halftime. An that is always no good.
Our halftime show sucked. Not only did we all screw up our music, but we also screwed up our marching. We looked like retards in uniforms. {sigh} There was one enjoyable moment, though. As we were walking off the field, the Prairie Du Chein players were coming back on. A couple of them were harassing me and Anthony, among others. After Anthony asked them if they felt like playing football sometime during the night, they told us to shove our drums up our arse. So, naturally, I told them I was going to run them over with my truck in the parking lot after the game. We all had a good chuckle.
As for the game, the first quarter was kinda boring. Mostly defense and punts. Until we scored. Yay. We missed the extra point though. Aww. In the second quarter it was much of the same. With about 4 minutes to go, we (the band) headed down to the field to prepare for our show. While we were down there, MG scored. And made the extra point. Yay! 13-0 with just over a minute left in the first half! Then they returned our kick for a touchdown. 13-6 with 48 seconds left! Then we got the ball, and made a long pass for another touchdown, and then the extra point. Yay! 20-6 was the score at halftime. After the half, MG just slowly pounded them down. After a while it was 27-6. Then it was 33-6. Finally, it was 33-12. That was the final score, and MG moves on to the next round of the playoffs. I don't know where or when yet, but you can be sure that when it's over I'll write about it. See y'all then.
