So it was back to the Dome on Friday, November 21st. Southern Cal (12-1) took on Tama (13-0). Everyone was fired up, but very nervous (OK, so maybe just I was nervous!). We all knew Southern Cal was a great team, but anything can (& does) happen in the Dome...

At the end of the 4th quarter the game was all tied up. I was so nervous my stomach hurt!!

But not to worry, in the end Southern Cal was triumphant!! We scored a touchdown on the 4th down of overtime which tied up the game again (21 to 21), then we went for the two point conversion & made it!! I think Tama thought we would kick a field goal & tie up the game to head into double overtime - they were not expecting us to go for the two points! I have to admit, I was not sure we were going to pull it off (I am such a pessimist), but I was totally wrong! It was
so exciting!! The game of a lifetime!

This is the look of a happy (& relieved) man!

When we got back to Lake City, there was a welcome home rally for the team. Most of the town showed up! The boys and coaches worked so hard to get a championship. Lake City couldn't be more proud!!!
