Pink Out

On Friday September 27th, the Blackcats went up against the Potosi Trojans. In the first half of the game we fell behind, Potosi pulling the lead. They held the lead for most of the first half of the game. Near the end of the second quarter tension was running high as Potosi had just scored yet another point.  While the team went to the locker room to freshen up, the halftime show proceeded.

The volleyball team had shown up and cheered as well. Most of the crowd had dawned pink attire. During the halftime show the cheerleaders had come onto the field with the girls from first grade through fifth grade

Our defense tackled them well and stopped them from making a lot of touchdowns.  In the lest few seconds the scoreboard had messed up and we had to reset the time, that took a while. In the end, with the amazing eighty five yard run made by Skylar Holland (12), we would’ve won had the ref not called the penalty. The penalty itself was described as ”holding someone who wasn’t supposed to be held,” by Micheal Atkins Jr, though the proper term is holding
