Lasers vs. Aigles
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
So, where was I? . . . after Apple Picking I headed to the new Tecumseh Vista Academy to watch the football game, crossing yet another item off my Autumn Bucket List.
I’ve never seen the school before, but it’s the kind of shiny & new suburban monstrosity dropped in the middle of a farm field that’s really the definition of Urban Sprawl and that yuppie parents seem to love. Of course it’s nice and all, but I went to a similarly isolated high school and grade school like this and It Sucks. Whatever happened to schools being integrated into towns??
But enough about my thoughts on urban planning. For an interesting perspective on school sprawl, check out this and this.
It was a special Football for the Cure week so there was lots of pink going around.
After the 10 minute walk from the parking lot to the football field I found my brother-in-law in the stands and we watched the first half together although if we’re being honest I don’t think either of us was really paying that much attention.
The grass isn’t really that green here in Essex County. That’s turf, folks.
I find high school football games hard to watch. I’ve already told you about how I can barely follow pro games so when the players are smaller and the field is bigger (they play CFL rules) and the announcers don’t call the plays until minutes after they happened, it’s pretty impossible to tell what’s happening. Until the spectators cheer and I know someone scored a touchdown.
Halftime Huddle
My brother-in-law left at half time so I spent the rest of the game walking laps around the track and pausing to watch the plays. It was a gorgeous evening and I enjoyed watching the game, especially since I was able to get some laps in. Plus those high school kids are just so stinking cute to watch.
In the end, Matt’s team won by a lot of points (I can’t remember how many) but they had the benefit of a bigger school and a much larger team and of course my husband’s superior coaching skills

Yikes, talk about school sprawl. No character at all. Sorry to hear you went to a school like that
I admire your dedication to sports appreciation! I remember your (hilarious!) post about watching pro football and I completely understand. At least you got some exercise, and supported Matt’s team!
