First Game of the Season

Tonight was the first football game of the new school year. Trinidad played their biggest rival in the Coalbucket Game for the traveling trophy. Despite being the favorite to bring home the trophy for the third year in a row, the Miners lost 21 to 22 to the Raton Tigers. Good game for all.

We weren't sure if the boys would even get to play. The game was due to start at 7pm but kickoff wasn't until 8:30 due to all the rain and lightning. The band had to wear their raingear and march with no plumes on their hats. First time in a long time that they have had to do that. Their performance was great!

All in all a great start to the long Labor Day weekend. We will be working at the county fairgrounds all weekend serving up drinks and food. Also we will all be helping with the logistics of the parking for the County Fair. This is one long but usually profitable weekend for the Band Boosters and kids. Will let you all know how it goes when all is tallied up.

Until next time, May God Bless you always!!
