Friday Night Lights
Cheering, screaming, and parents coaching from the sidelines; this is only a portion of what goes on at a Friday night football game in Texas. Nothing can get a small Texas town more excited than going down to the local stadium to watch boys fight over a ball. From a Forney High School Highstepper’s perspective Friday nights are the highlights of their fall. Friday night lights bring frenzy and flurry to a small town.

Our traditional field uniforms are glittering and gleaming in the lights wowing the crowd. The turf is getting all in our jazz shoes and puncturing our feet as we dance through the pain. There is no better feeling then dancing under those lights and having everyone’s attention. The dance is over and we sassily walk off the field knowing the crowd loved our dance. We meet up at the facility ready to be yelled at by our coach, but we are pleasantly surprised when we are praised for our moves. There is a sweaty cloud of fumes coming off our drained bodies. The cloud is so thick you can taste the sweat, almost like we are playing the game instead of providing entertainment. Back in our perfectly aligned line, we make it into the stands after being worshiped for the great performance on the
