The Fighting Minutemen
September 20, 2002
The Minutemen battle the Lincoln County Cougars...
|
These are the new stands on the 50-yard line.
|
Here are the press and coaches boxes.
|
|
|
The nose-bleed seats up on the hill behind the stands.
|
A view of the snack bar and restrooms from the grand
stands.
|
|
|
The field and scoreboard from the snack bar area.
|
Sullen teens---"Why do we have to stay with you!?"
|
|
|
The Minutemen cheerleaders strech out a bit.
|
Another view of the cheerleaders warming up.
|
|
|
Here are a couple views of the cheerleaders strutting
their stuff.
|
Look closely for some Charlie Brown cartoon-style dance
steps.
|
|
|
Now they are throwing the short gals into the air.
|
All you could do was hope they didn't drop one!
|
|
|
Here the Minutemen cheerleaders whip the crowd into
a frenzy.
|
Lincoln and Lewis County cheerleaders chat before the
game gets started.
|
|
|
Here the Cougar gals throw each other around.
|
The Cougar cheerleaders were very snappy and precise.
|
|
|
The Minutemen band enters the stadium...
|
and marches past the snack bar...
|
|
|
around the end of the field...
|
and ends up in their position for the National Anthem.
|
|
|
This series of the band was taken just before the...
|
National Anthem was played.
|
|
|
We think that there was a problem getting the ...
|
color buard onto the field!
|
|
|
This series has the Minutemen...
|
and Cougars work out before the game.
|
|
|
Now both teams come back onto the field...
|
as part of the pre-game festivities.
|
|
|
The xebras strut down the field.
|
The color guard FINALLY gets it together.
|
|
|
The coin toss...
|
and the Minutemen choose to receive.
|
|
|
Not that the pics really show you...
|
but the moon rise was beautiful.
|
|
|
The next 5 shots are from the first series...
|
of Minutemen downs that resulted in a TD!
|
|
|
This is the first Minutemen touchdown.
|
Here is their second touchdown.
|
|
|
Half-time activities started with a very nice presentation...
|
by the Lincoln County Cougar band.
|
|
|
Then the Minutemen band took over and presented...
|
their rousing salute to Nascar and Dale Earnhardt.
|
|
|
Our newspaper publisher was acting as the sports reporter/photographer
that night and ran out of steam!
|
A young fan in the stands.
