Unicorn Pride

Staring down the ramp and I could see the turf at the end
The click clack of cleats and a rumble of two teams ready to battle for a win
Katy came out first beaming with confidence and size
Then the NB team trotted down the ramp with their eye on the prize
I walked to the field and glared around a fog filled battle field
And was rushed with and indescribable emotion that nothing could shield
Both teams took the field with an intense passion
As both sides of Rice Stadium had fans waving their colors as if it were going out of fashion
Interceptions back and forth, a chess game of field position and a fight
One team would push and the other pushed back with all their might
The fog began to settle down closer and closer to the field
The players fight showed no signs of stopping or coming to a yield
A few short scores back and forth and the game was coming to a wrap
Then on 3rd and 10 the Unicorns threw a TD pass for a potential tie, then came the crap
A penalty on big blue and their dreams of state faded away
But in no way can they hang their head, especially the way they played that day
A great run and a tough fight
The Unicorns left all they had on that field and it was definitely a great sight
So no matter what people say about your 2009 state run
In the hearts of all the Unicorn faithful you guys are #1
