Wednesday Nights

Tonight was a community pep rally for the high school football team.  I like the idea of bringing the community together to support our teams, and Gonzales does a better job then most other cities I've lived in.  We bleed orange here. 

But the problem with that first statement is tonight is Wednesday night.

Now I'm not one for we do it that way because it's always been done that way UNLESS there is a valid reason for something.  In our society Wednesday nights have been sacred, second only to Sundays.  If you were an organization, you didn't meet on Wednesday nights out of respect for church. 

PTA, Scouts, boosters, etc, etc etc met Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thurdays.  Rarely Fridays, but they were open if necessary in non-football season. 

I know many members of the booster club that sponsor these rallies and know that they belong to churches that meet on Wednesdays, so I know they understand that Wednesdays are the time many churches teach our teens about God and responsibilities. And yet they continue to schedule these rallies on Wednesdays. 

So my questions are, is football really more important that God? What are we teaching our kids about priorities?

I've been going to Apache games for 16 year now.  Back when, I has a foster son on a playoff team that did well.  But in all my years of watching Apache football I've never seen a better rounded team. 

Generally we've had great offenses with decent defenses, not this year.  This year we've got an outstanding defense tagging with a great offense.  This is the real deal, all round team.

I was a bit worried after we smacked Sam Houston that our boys would get a big head and stumble this week, but coach obviously keep the boys heads in the game, and not looking forward to the next game before we get there. 

They've played as a team, and as a team I think they will go far.  Without a doubt this is the best team I've ever seen play for the Apaches. 

Good luck to them as they continue on, I know we still have La Vernia next week, but this will be an great year to end up in Cuero.  Thinking there will be some gobblers ducking from the Apache tomahawks.  :)   One week at a time though!

God Bless
