Week 0 in the books

You usually don't open the season with a game that is so important, but we had one on Friday in Columbia.

Columbia hosted Lawrence County in a matchup of the top two teams in the district last year.

Friday's game was a good one with the hosts winning 21-11. Columbia had a stud at defensive tackle and a running back/linebacker that's not bad too. Lawrence County got worn down in the heat in the second half as it was just 7-3 Columbia at halftime.

Mr. Pond, our referee, got us in the right frame of mind at the hotel prior to the game. Columbia gets a room at a local hotel for the officials to dress before and after the game. Folks may make fun of the length of the pre-game, but it gets us ready for the game.

Coach T, owner/operator of CoachT.com, was at the game and took pictures. He got at least one good one of me on a running play early in the game. Click to see Chuck's photo.

We had our last preseason meeting today in which we go this week's schedule. We'll get the rest of our first half schedule tomorrow or Wednesday.
