This evening, the Friendswood Mustangs hosted their first annual Football Frenzy. The afternoon began with freshman and JV scrimmages while a punt, pass, kick competition was happening on an auxiliary field. The booster club was there selling BBQ, concessions, raffle tickets and spirit items. The JV and freshman squads both appeared inconsistent; however, since the players didn't have numbers on their jerseys, the individuals may have been consistent.
At 7pm, after the Wranglerettes and the cheerleaders performed, the varsity squads took the field. The Mustangs looked great at times. At other times, they didn't look very good at all. For a reason unknown to me, the players did not wear their usual jersey numbers. It would have been much easier for me to keep up with everyone if they had been wearing the proper jersey numbers. Our defense held well, but was susceptible to break away plays by the Yellow Jackets. One of the Jackets was very fast, the only Mustang who could chase him down was J.J. ( At least, I think it was J.J., again, they weren't wearing the correct jersey numbers).
I also learned that the Mustangs are already dealing with injuries. I don't have any confirmed details, so I will wait until I do before I comment.
To be honest, tonight left me a little nervous for next Friday night when the Mustangs play the Angleton Wildcats in the first preseason game. I know they had scouts at the game, and I hope the jersey thing confused them a bit, or causes them to be watching for the wrong people.
The Yellow Jackets and Mustangs played one quarter of proper football, minus the kick offs, after about an hour of running plays. At the end of that quarter, the score was Alvin 3 - Friendswood 14. This quarter revealed something else as well - the score board isn't working properly.
7 days until the beginning of Friday night Football!
