Last night was a little tough for some of us outsiders.
The Sullivan-Okaw Valley Redskins held their Meet The Redskins open scrimmage at Sullivan's Victory Field, and there were many broken tackles and busted open runs, and though I wanted to cheer and get excited about this year's team, I wondered, or was that just a bad play by a Sullivan defender?
Parents were able to cheer their own kids on, but I was left a little confused.
But in all it looked good. The team looked as though it was having a lot of fun running its plays and standing on the sideline under the bright lights for the first time this year. And possibly at all, as there were several excited freshmen on the sidelines.
And SOV JFL president Mike Sweeney told me they looked a lot different, mainly because the high school playing field is, in fact, different.
As you can see in a picture below, several fans came out to sit in the stands, and several more lined up against the fence, most of them staying for all three scrimmages.
Also excited was coach Nate Lorton, getting to stand on the sidelines for the first time and yell to get his team pumped up, and also yell to get them to do things right.
All in all, it was a good time at Victory Field. Check out the pictures below:
