Wolverines are Feeling It
A few days back, I posted a somewhat tongue-in-cheek note, prefacing an e-mail from State Rep Jeannette Mott-Oxford. She was noting that the Roosevelt Roughriders were playing host to the Vashon Wolverines in high school football last Saturday. I briefly noted that PHL games may lack the sizzle of cinematic football matches, but since the game was close, I was going.
Well, I went to the first half and watched an evenly-played game, with Vashon scoring the one touchdown of the half, late in the second quarter. Several hundred people were on-hand, with most on the home side; that said, the Vashon section was lively and their cheerleaders were certainly vocal. It was a fascinating afternoon of people-watching. I enjoyed myself, spent a total of $4 and definitely planned on going back.
This morning, I was alerted to a note in our comments section, on that August 30 post, left by one of the Vashon Wolverines. Since these notes are often lost in the cyber-seas, I wanted to call it out here and invite #50 Bryan Sutherland to write in more often. When we built this blog, we didn't anticipate it becoming a hotbed of PHL football talk, but... we are totally open to that!
Take it away #50:
-----------------------------
We wolverines held it down and we triumphed over the #1 team in the PHL. They had us ranked #4 in the PHL which has to be wrong, we and Career Academy were the only two teams to even get out of Districts in the PHL, but yet they have us at the bottom of the best. Your predictions and assumptions are incorrect and should be changed now that we've defeated those pesky Roughriders . They played well but they couldn't overcome the best of the best. We now have to play the Gateway Jaguars and shouldn't have any trouble with them. We will be hosted by them Thursday September 6, 2007 at 6:30 pm this will be a very good game but we still will have a victory.
Sincerely,
#50 Bryan Sutherland
