Friday Night Lights

I don't know how many people have seen the movie "Friday Night Lights," but it's basically about a high school football team in Texas and shows how seriously people in Texas take high school football. While we've seen a bit of the obsession around already (stickers on cars, high school T-shirts sold at the grocery store, etc.), we thought that we needed to witness it first hand. It was Flower Mound High School's Homecoming weekend, so Kenslee and I went to the parade on Thursday and then on Friday we all went to the big football game. It is true about Texas football, they take it very serious! We felt like we were at a college football game. The teams were all disciplined and structured, running their formations before the game started. There seemed to be dozens of coaches for each team. There were even box seats in the stadium where some of the coaches sat to give directions to their teams! It was such a fun game and we were winning when we left, so I am sure they took the whole game.
