Green Gold Game &…

…watermelon. Old tradition meets a new one. The Green Gold game is an annual tradition, a way to finish up spring practice, a way to give the community a chance to preview the 2010 version of Buford Football and have some great fellowship!

Spring practice started a week and a half ago. It was a little later than normal, but we had to wait for the NEW practice facility to be completed! They are now practicing on TURF, yep you heard it right turf, and as exciting as it sounds, it's hot as heck on that field, God was great to these boys by providing some cool windy afternoons after the first two days. It took almost a week to get bodies hydrated and the feel of new surface, with that said, today's scrimmage at the Old City Park (where there is real grass), was a nice relief from the turf for these boys.

As a new tradition Coach wanted to start a new tradition by providing watermelon to the boys as a symbol that spring practice has come to an end. Needless to say his request was our (Moms Huddle) pleasure to provide. We solicited watermelons from parents and the turn out, as usual was overwhelming, we had enough melon for all players, coaches, sibling, parents and fans.

Here a are some pics to help us remember this day:
