Wow!! It was a very eventful Saturday! Kenneth and I went to the state championship game for division 2 class 5A. Katy High School played the Wylie Pirates and WON 17-3. It was crazy fun! They played at Reliant Stadium and, I swear, I think all of Katy was there. I even heard one fan state "Did we remember to turn off the lights to the city when we left?" Katy fans filled 3/4ths of the stadium in a sea of red. Talk about Red Out!!!
Coach Joseph was great! It was so neat to be there in person to support them. I just saw the 10pm news and it was on the sports section!! We went with Sean, Kristyne, Connie, Jack .... gosh the whole darn city! I even saw the Mayor Don Elder there!!
The leader of the Bengal Brigade had called before the game and asked Kenneth if as Captain of the Fire Department could he arrange fire apparatus to take the players to a rally at Rhodes Stadium. Of course!! So after the game we rushed home and got some other firemen together so that we would have drivers for the trucks. Kenneth and I drove Engine 5 which is the oldest firetruck the department has. I hung out on the back end so that Dr Mark Bing could ride up front with Kenneth. The speedometer on it doesn't even work anymore!! Tom Duffy and Josh Gresham manned Tower 1, and Chuck Buckman and Buddy drove Engine 2.
It was great to see the kids enjoy riding through town on the trucks and to see the whole city come out to support them. Everyone was honking and the police department blocked off all of the intersections. Finally we arrived at Rhodes Stadium to a great rally with the marching band and tons of fans. After a great rally we loaded all of the kids back up so that we could take them back to the field house. All in all it was a truly wonderful day. A wonderful day in Katy Texas!!!
