Friday Night Lights

     In high schools all around the world, something that is a common after school activity that gets lots of LOTS of school spirit is FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS! Our school and the surrounding schools have football on these nights. Potatoes on the other hand, have a full-out intensive game of.....POTATO-SACK RACING!!

    This game was inspired buy the legend of the potato sack race. To keep up with the legend and make sure it is never forgotten. At the beginning of the games we listen to the principal of McPotato High explain the legend and rules. The two teams of that night are introduced and the race begins. These races aren't the regular ones you have. We potatoes have a different version. 

     In our version we have to hop around the track once and high five our partner and than they go. Sounds normal right? Here's the twist. We are allowed to use sponges, paper planes, paper balls and nerf balls (in warmer weather we use water balloons). As the racers go around the track to get the crowd involved, ou can purchase mud balls to throw at the team you dont support that night. It's all fun and games and we make sure we play safe. No one likes bruised potatoes. 

     We are starting to form our team. We don't know if we will find enough potatoes to join our team. Maybe you'll see us. if not hopefully you start your own games.
