Becca as a Pacesetter
Last Friday night Lisa and I attended our first high school football game in almost 30 years. The Taylor High Mustangs hosted Cy-Fair Bobcats in their season opener (Cy-Fair is short for Cypress-Fairbanks for all you not in the know). Justus was with us and this was his first time to see a live football game. He was in gridiron heaven. We home team fans enjoyed the shady-side of stadium and escaped the afternoon sun. Even the breeze seemed determined to keep the otherwise sultry air at bay.
Rhodes Stadium is the only Katy ISD football venue for the six gargantuan high schools it serves. With that, you can imagine how impressive it is: state-of-the-art artificial turf and CCTV with instant replay on a huge video score board. To be frank, this complex rivals the fields of most small colleges.
Rebecca made the drill team called Pacesetters, and we were there to see her first show. I was surprised by the nostalgic sights and sounds of rivalry and spirit. I was reminded of years in marching bands and leading as drum major. I was nostalgic for other reasons, too. My little girl was presented to seemingly the entire town as a young lady in royal blue, sparkles and make-up.
My time remaining with her is dreadfully short.
