Friday Night Lights
It's high School football season and tonight I decided to go have a look at Pueblo West HS and see how good they looked. I have definitely seen better teams around Colorado but this team is set to make another run at the State Playoffs this year.
Pueblo won this one in a blowout 40-0 so it was not much of a game but it was fun to chat with some friends up in the stands.
This band sure got a lot of work in tonight because they played after every score. I really enjoy watching high school sporting g events. I just wish Colorado in general played a better brand of football like some other places in the country.

I love going to H.S. football games as well.
Most of these young men play the game, for the pure joy of the competition.
I taught with a gentleman, Greg Toal for over 30 years, and we became close friends.
In 33 years as a head coach, Greg Toal racked up a 305-55-2 record.
This is one great guy who could motivate a slog to run the 100 yard dash.
Just a few of his accomplishments would include:
River Dell HS
State Championship 1985, 1987
Hackensack HS
State Championship 1992, 93, 94, 95, 96
Don Bosco Prep HS
State Championship 2002, 03, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 15
While at Don Bosco Prep, his team won two National Championships, in 2009 and again in 2011.
What is not to love about HS football.
My cousin Steele Divitto played inside linebacker for him at Bosco and then played LB for Boston College. Got signed by the Jets but didn’t make it.
Two of Greg's boys, Gregory and Brian, attended Boston College.
Gregory was a fullback and Brian inside linebacker as well. Brian also scored a couple of touchdowns. They would give him the ball when they were down on the goal line, and more times than not when he was handed the ball, he ended up in the end zone.
His other son went to William and Mary and was a receiver for four years.
Great way to go to college, all three boys went on a full scholarship.
Quite the accomplishment even getting a shot at the big leagues like that! Good for your cousin even if he didn’t make it.

It's really nice to be able to watch your favorite soccer team. Enjoy your day, sir.
I’ve heard stories of what it’s like south of the border with football and how much of a religion it is.
High school football on Friday.
College football on Saturday.
NFL on Sunday.
I just put my son into hockey. I have the feeling that’s how he’ll get about hockey as he gets older!

Love to watch High School sports. We just cheered for Adams State Grizzlies on Saturday, from Alamosa. Lol
That's the best way to enjoy the weekend !
