Tonight Aquinas is playing Topeka Seaman High School in a sectional football contest.  The score at the half it 42-14.  You might wonder why this is just a half time update, well, it is so cold that I came home during Half-time to warm up and write for all of you loving fans.

The fans gradually gathered in and soon were huddling for warmth while cheering for the team and the managers alike.  It might be as cold as Russia in Rocky IV.  (Probably not, but the movie was on today and I love it.)

The game was started by an amazing kick-off return by senior Jordan Brandenburg that placed the Saints inside the 1.  Two plays later, Quarterback Ricky Nachbar ran it in, 1 yard, for a touchdown.  The Saints were on the board.  Soon after, Gabe Cunning ran in another touchdown after a 30 yard pass play giving the Saints a 14-0 lead.  David Baska's PATs have been perfect so far.  With 1:44 left in the first quarter, Topeka scored.

WARNING: Nostalgic!

Last Friday night was senior night for Aquinas football.  The game was against Gardner Edgerton. 

With 42 seniors, there was a lot to celebrate, and we did.  The seniors in the band were also announced.  Yeah Brigade! They went on to win 12-6.  I know that doesn't even sound like a legitimate football score, but I will try to explain the entertainment value.
