Friday Night Football
We are in Narrows for their season opener. Tonight they retired Jarrett’s #24 jersey and the Hokie band came to play the half-time show. The family wore matching Green Wave shirts and the twins wore Va Tech cheerleader outfits. The Narrows stands were a mixture of green, yellow, maroon, and orange. Never have those four colors seemed to belong together as much as they did tonight.
We had a good time taking the babies to their first Narrows High football game.
It was overwhelming to see how much this town loves Jarrett.
We brought home Jarrett’s #24 jersey and it’s sitting in the family room. We are not sure what we are going to do with it, but it is very special to us all.
I have a lot more pictures here.
Also, the local news station covered the night and put together a nice video that includes a short clip of Jarrett playing football his senior year.
That’s so cool they retired his jersey! You could frame it and hang it on the wall. Love you and will see you Sunday! Love, Adele
So dear DIL, what was the final score? Narrows 24-O? FIL
I love the pics. I’m sure it was very emotional, but it was so beautiful, so touching; I was teary as I watched. It wasn’t only the band, and the jersey, but the scoreboard and field, the ribbons, and fans…Community love is awesome, and it’s so obvious it extends not only to Jarrett, but to your whole family.
Hope you can find a way to share the jersey.
Unfortunately the final score was 47-19… and Narrows lost.
Great pics, Alicia. Thank you for sharing them. I agree with Donna…community love is awesome. I am sure it was a very emotional night for all of you, but a very special time you will never forget.
Thanks for the score Dan. How rude of the visitors on such a special night… Alicia commented how much the town loved Jarrett, which they do, and it seemed pretty clear when we visited that they also love the Lane family just as much!
FIL & MIL,
My grandmother wanted me to tell you that Mrs. Montgomery asks about you often.
