This week's game was supposed to be a big deal. Homecoming weekend. The last game of the regular season. Putting an exclamation point on a fourth straight Central League title.
The reality was less spectacular.
The Homecoming Parade pre-game was in a steady cold rain. The halftime performance by the band was canceled due to weather, and what amounted to a pep band of brass instruments was all that got to perform.
We won a lackluster game, 38-14, playing mostly backups in the rain to preserve our players for the playoffs to come.
For the season, we have outscored the opponents 489-118.
We ended the season 10-0, and 9-0 in the Central League, completing the 4-peat, winning the league title all 4 years of Grace's high school career.
Notwithstanding the rainy conclusion to the season, we will go into the playoffs seeded #1 in Division 1 of Class 6A, and will have a round 1 home game against Haverford, a Central League rival who we beat 55-14 just 3 weeks ago.
With some pandemic-induced modifications eliminating neutral site games, we will continue to have home games as long as we keep winning in the Division 1 playoffs. That's a very good thing, and theoretically means our first away game could be in December! But there's a lot of business to the care of first.
Go Jags!
