As kids, we always dream of being part of high school football. Some as players and others as prideful fans. On Friday, I finally felt that excitement of the "Friday Night Lights"
Walking into the school building, it became a sea of Green and Grey. The North Miami Pioneers were showing their Pioneer Pride for our biggest rival, North Miami Beach. We all know when your team plays their hateful rival, we tend to become more excited and our true spirit comes out. No matter what sport it is, baseball, football, basketball or even tennis.
For ten years, NMB has beaten North Miami. TEN YEARS. That all changed Friday night at FIU Stadium.
NMB had a 22-7 lead with 11 minutes reaming in the 4th quarter and then the rally started. Pioneers came back to score two touchdowns to make the game 22-20 with 6:59 to go. The Chargers got the ball back and ran off 5 minutes of the game clock...
North Miami didn't give up and with the last 30 sec. the team scored the game winning field goal making the sideline and fans go crazy. For the first time in 10 years we beat the chargers! We also won the Inner City Football Trophy.
The next day, I had to go to school for a debate meet and I heard my math teacher say "it was the most amazing thing I ever saw."
Swamp Dogs!
