From the honourable Timmy D:

“Saturday’s game starts at 1:30. Tickets are being sold this week at the school to try to avoid lines on Saturday. Tickets are $8.00 each and regular season passes will not get you in the gate. “The spirit of the schools, the spirit of the city, starts on Friday nights in the fall” (or in this case Saturday afternoon)”

I was able to go to half of the Eagles away game last night and, despite the cold, it was a great half of football.  For the second week in a row OHS upset their undefeated opponents.  From my vantage point, it looked like there were far more OHS fans than Woodbridge, and we were much louder.

Our defense was pretty stout and layin’ the wood to the other side.  The offense was exciting and succesful in moving the ball.  Special teams in weather like that is tough but we were able to overcome it.

I don’t think Demeria saw me but I heard him.  Easily the most wound-up I’ve been at a football game in awhile.  Osbourn runs out of a triangle formation and they seem to get their best plays off the edge.  I’m yelling for our QB to RUN RUN RUNSLOW SLOW! RUNSLOW!CUT!!  All kinds of new words…But, I wasn’t alone.  My voice is pretty torn up.

There was even a kid there who had painted his body and was shirtless.  He was okay for about a quarter before he was shivering all over.  Someone finally gave him a blanket.

Congrats Eagles!! Great game.
