Friday Night Lights

"Once a Panther, always a Panther". This is the saying that has been passed down for generations at West High School. So, it's a natural fit for Steve to be coaching there since he graduated from West. I, on the other hand, struggled last year after being a "Cougar" for many years. (Perhaps I should clarify, that's Cougar as in the mascot, not Cougar as in an older woman attracted to younger men. Although I have been accused of being that kind of Cougar too... wink, wink.) Anyhow, now that Steph has graduated from Kearns (home of the Cougars), I feel I can become a more devoted Panther fan.

Steve is the defensive coordinator this year. He's doing a great job, but it drives me crazy to see him rehash every little play all weekend long after each game.

The cutest Panther of them all... this little guy has been attending Friday night football games since he was two months old. It's no wonder he told me the other day, "I want to be a football player when I grow up"!

I forgot Steve was coaching at West now and not Kearns... I didn't know he graduated from West either, I thought he went to high school in Alabama... Also, didn't know he was Defensive Coordinator- that's awesome! How is the season coming along? I just got home from Jeff's game, it is almost midnight- time for bed!! I wish they were still coaching together, it was fun to sit by you at the games:)

It's true - once a panther, always a panther! We'll be at the game in 2 weeks for Becky's induction into the Hall of Fame. I will look for you!

I've always wondered why my brothers will talk about a specific play in a game for days and days!! Sometimes Ben and his friends will STILL talk about the high school glory day moments... *sigh*

We all know you are a "COUGAR" I dont think there is anything wrong with just looking. We older we get the cuter "they" get :) gald Steve is having fun ~ doing what he loves.
