Football: Marco Island Eagles at FBCN Beacons


I think if the truth were told, most boys would thrill at the opportunity to play outside in the rain, slip and slide on wet grass, splash in puddles and wallow in mud. Watch almost any boy when his mother is not around, (and plenty even with mom around), and the puddle is target one.

Today, in the middle of the afternoon, the Senior Divisions of the Marco Island Eagles Football teams, and the Beacons of First Baptist Church of Naples Outreach got the chance of a boys lifetime. They got to run, hit, and tackle one another during a deluge, as the field at First Baptist began to flood with inches of rainwater. It was not as much fun to be a spectator, although a surprising number persevered. Eventually lightning forced a premature end to the sodden spectacle, but not before everyone was soaked to the bone. (If you look closely at the picture above, you might wonder if anyone drowned... fortunately not!)

I have finally been able to post pictures from all games! Those who attended the morning session, but left before the rain came may enjoy looking at the Senior game gallery. You'll be thankful that your laundry will be less challenging than for those Senior players.

I hope you will follow the link to naplespix.com, and look for pictures you would like to save. Remember that there is a wide variety of types and sizes of prints and other merchandise from which you may choose. There is also the option to download a digital file of pictures you want to keep for your computer.

By the way, my sneakers kept opening the dryer door, and slowed their eventual drying significantly.

Thanks,

Mike
