Friday Night Lights

The Havre Blue Ponies invited Riley's team to play under the lights on Friday night.  The game was scheduled to be played at the baseball park and the town prepared the field, tested the lights and were ready to host.  However, the power company turned off the power to the lights and no one was notified.  We had a couple of options, pull cars around the field to light it up or call the superintedent of schools to get permission to use the highschool field.   With luck, the superintendent said yes so across town we drove to a real football field.

 

 

 

 

When we got there, the boys were so excited and amazed by the size and the lights.

 

 

Before the game, the boys lined up in the tunnel and got a little pepped up by the coach.  One of the coaches told the boys that this is a special deal playing under the lights on a real football field so take it all in enjoy and go show them what you have.

Riley lined up for the kick off.

Riley ran the ball in for the first touchdown of the night and his first touchdown of the season

The season is now over.  Bittersweet.
