Friday night lights was fun. Somerville won the trophy defeating Snook in their rivalry game, 20-14, in overtime. Somerville supporters cheered their Yeguas to victory. I know my two grands, Bree and Bean, were exhausted. Bree is a cheerleader and Bean plays offense, defense and center for a special play which I understand is called “tank.” Bean’s coach told me afterwards that they won because I was there. Congratulations to the Yeguas. Homecoming is Friday so stay tuned.
