What a wonderful weekend for football!  

It all started with Eagle Fest.  Food, friends and fun to usher in the Friday night season.  It seemed as if all of Zionsville was there! 

As game time approached, the crowd worked it's way across the street into the stadium.  After the Marching Band played the Star Spangled Banner, the band and cheerleaders lined up to welcome the players.  In keeping with tradition, Zionsville Youth Football teams were also brought onto the field to help welcome the Varsity players.  (I remember how exciting this event on the Varsity field was for my son when he played youth football.  I don't, however, remember him ever being that small!)

The Junior Varsity team played this morning, away in Lafayette.  Another win, with the Eagles 33 to the Bronchos 12.  (Touchdowns by Mattingly, Hodge, Fisher, Hudson, and Claps).
