They did it again. The Lumberjacks are off to a great start. The game began on a somber note as the eight year anniversary of “9/11″ was commemorated and a moment of silence was held in memory of those who lost their lives that day.
Before the game began a group of local veterans were honored for their service to our country. I chose this side view of the color guard because a full frontal view didn’t allow me to see the comments on the flag which said, “You are not forgotten.” The men and woman who have and continue to serve to protect our country from further terrorist attacks will never be forgotten. Thank you for all that you do.

There is a small group of students who walk throughout the stadium complex carrying this flag and supporting the team. Occasionally they decide it is important to go into the visiting bleachers to ensure the visiting family’s are also supporting our team.
Every game begins with the players entering the field by running out onto the field and running through the “Go Jacks” banner
My son, pumped for the game after a difficult week of practice crashed through the banner first.
Kujo’s trying to get through the defenders to get to the quarterback.
Like I said in the previous post; you just can’t have at least one post featuring Aaron Davis running in for a touchdown.
Michael had a great command of the offense as evidenced by the final score of 63-0.
Dick Grapes is celebrating his 50th year of calling the NTHS Lumberjack games. Way to go Mr. Grapes you have a great voice. Thank you for your 50-years of service and dedication to the NTHS Lumberjacks.
This said it all! A number of people have asked me why the coach ran the score up. Well, he didn’t. From much of the second quarter through the end of the game he played the “rest of the team” which consisted of second and third stringers. Williamsville North just could not muster any offense.
