Texas High School Football - RC

I try to attend one football game a year from my home town of Royse City. I didn't get to go last year but we did this year and this was also Craig's first time to go with me since RC built this new stadium. You probably won't appreciate this post unless you are from my home town or unless you appreciate high school football. High school football is a BIG thing in Texas!

My home town used to be such a small town - a population of around 2,000 when I lived there as a kid. Now, I believe the small town's population is around 10,000. All things RC is exploding, no doubt!

The football announcer booth thing is massive and still blows my mind.
RC is really stepping it up and even has a replay video screen.
When I was in high school, I participated in the drill team for three years. This was the highlight of my high school years by far.

When I was in school ages ago ***sigh***, I remember the cheerleaders used to make these decorated/painted, paper banners for the football players to run through along with a spirit line. Once again, they have stepped it up.


Here is a pic of the announcer booth from the inside.

Craig and I
Me and Kelli - my long time friend of 25 years. We have been friends since the 4th grade and we were in drill team together. It was so fun to go to this game together and of course we had to sit near the band and drill team. :)
It was a fun time and I look forward to doing it again next year.

OMG!! Wow!! I have not been to Royse City in years. I did not even know they had this stadium. The football fields looks amazing. I remember the paper banners as well and this is awesome. Thank you so much for sharing Amy. Donna and I have been friends since the 4th grade as well. I sure wish her and I could go to a Royse City football game together. Thanks again.

Love

Tycha, the stadium itself is huge! I have more pics of it but didn't put them all on the blog. They are 4A now and the year after I graduated, in 1996 I believe was the year they built and opened a new high school. All of their middle school was then using what used to be the middle school and high school. Seems like it wasn't too many years (but I guess in reality, it was probably around 10 years) before they built a new high school and stadium. I think the new high school and stadium has been around for 3 or 4 years now. I guess the old, new high school is occupied by middle schoolers... not sure. But I know there are numerous elementary schools. Just unfathomable.
