Personal Narrative: My First Trip To Fleming Stadium

Last night I made my first trip ever to, Fleming Stadium, home of the Shadyside Tigers, Before the game I stopped by the big tailgate party being thrown, right beside the stadium. I wanted to first say that this stadium was well lit and in pretty good shape, for this time of the season. The P.A. system was very loud on the home side. The home crowd was very large and loud and the P.A. guy was one of the better ones, I have heard this season.

After seeing prep destroy Fairfield Christian last week, in the Cardinal division championship game(69-10) I was affair of how dangerous they could be and knew first hand, that they were not a one trick pony, as I heard many of the Shadyside fans say during the tailgate and while the teams were warming up.

The Warriors would face a 4th and three to go at the 9:59 mark of the quarter and the opted to go for it. The play was pass from Jamal Lipsey and went to James McDowell moved the ball to the Tigers 44-yard-line and moved the chains. The Warriors known for being a very undisciplined team, though they have slowly begun to shake that reputation, would fall back into those bad habits,with three flags being thrown on them on the first drive. The Warriors, who last week had major problems on the snap from center to the punter again ran into that problem with 6:55 left in the quarter. A bad snap to the punter was recovered by Chase Wade, at the Warriors
