Final Palouse Thunder Pre-Season Game

I spent most of the morning looking around the Internet just finding stuff to do. The team was meeting in Lewiston around one-thirty in the afternoon for a lunch. I got down there around two o’clock. I went to the Super China buffet and met with everyone. I talked to the coach for a while and listened to some of the players chatting.

Around three o’clock we headed to the field. We got there around three-thirty and the lockerroom and press box was all closed. It took a while to find someone to open them up. It was almost four-thirty when they were opened.

I talked with the Sabercats’ coach about the pronunciation of some of the players’ names. Then I went into the press box and got the music and countdown clock running. I went down on the field and hung out with some of the players. I helped the kicker by giving him the ball after his kicks for the field goal attempts.

With about twenty minutes until game time I went into the press box and got my final preparations completed for the start of the game.

The Thunder played pretty well. There were some penalties they should not have gotten. The coach got kicked out at half-time because he came on the field and grabbed a Sabercat player and told him that he would kill him if he ever tried to take out our quarterback again. That was a pretty ugly display.

The Thunder won thirty to six. After the game I talked to Jerrid who was one of the refs and is also the commissioner of the Evergreen Football League. He told me what had happened with the coach at half-time.

Then I headed back to Colfax. Juan was going to come over and watch a movie but he ended up working late so he needed to go to bed when he got done. I spent the evening unwinding and watching some TV.
