Friday Night Lights Return

While most schools aren't in session yet, that hasn't stopped the fall sports schedule from commencing. Assumption did start classes this week. And returned to the home gridiron tonight. 

Since kickoff was at 6 p.m., I figured I'd get some pictures in the "daylight" hours. Second half was usless for capturing anything. We'll see how they turned out. I'll get to sifting through those in a bit. 

It was a back-and-forth game against the strong Pepin-Alma team. (Yes, definitely nonconference.) We'd get within 1 point and then they'd score and we were catching up again. In the end, right after the timeout pictured above, we just couldn't catch 'em the last time and fell 34-27. Dang.

Pretty decent game to watch, though. However, we had one too many (or 5 too many) false-start penalties. Grr. On the plus side, we had great passes and receptions for our usually strong running team. And our two senior running backs Nick and Cade dominated per usual. Will be a fun season to watch! 

If you can't see them in person under the lights, you can watch the livestream on Zaleski Sports. Let's have a season, Royals!
