State 2014

Aledo won state again! We beat Temple 49-45!!! 

We had just such a great day. We left at 9 o'clock in the morning and got to the stadium at 10. I need to tell myself to calm down because I just could've got out of the car and looked at the stadium to see where the entrance was. But I was so nervous that I walked the entire distance around the stadium carrying Brant. When we got to the entrance we had to wait about 20 minutes In the cold and drizzle. The other team Temple, had lots of fans outside the stadium and they were all loud and shouting that they were going to beat us. When they finally opened the doors I had my mom walk with the boys and I hightailed it in to the stadium. I went to the Aledo side and found seats on the 40 yard line. Last year I remembered that you could take a picture and then tweet it with the hash tag #uilsate, and you had a chance that they would post your picture on the Jumbotron. Well this year the boys got their picture on the Jumbotron. I sent out a crazy picture with them making funny faces and it made the big spot on the Jumbotron. They were so excited. At the end of the game we tried to get down on the field because we had passes but the fourth quarter was so nerve-racking that we did not make it down on the field in time. The workers were not nice and kept on telling me we waited too late. We finally found an elevator that went down to the field and made it late but at least we got to take a picture with Billy. He was so mad that they weren't letting us on the field that he threw a fit to some of the workers. Go Aledo!!!
