High School Football Fever
Okay, so games in the PHL don't exactly rival those of "Friday Night Lights," but I'm not sure I'd like to live in that alternate universe, either. My State Rep, Jeannette Mott-Oxford, sent out a note this week, reminding locals that the Roosevelt Rough Riders will be in action a few days hence, versus the rival Vashon Wolverines. When these teams meet, throw out the records, people.
With the Roosevelt stadium about a 30-second walk away, this old-school PHL matchup is actually sounding rather... doable.
-----------------
Roosevelt High School's first 2007 football game is this Saturday, and it would mean a lot to student athletes and their families if area residents came out for the game. Red T-Shirts would be good spectator apparel. Here's the info:
Game starts at 1:30pm on Saturday, September 1st against Vashon High School.
Tickets at the gate are $4.00 and $2.00 at Roosevelt beginning Friday morning.
A tail-gate party will be held beginning at 11:30am on Saturday morning.
For more info, call the school at 314-776-6040.
