My weekend brought a lot of memories to my mind. I packed up and we were heading to the the great city of Jackson, Mississippi to the Jackson State game When we arrived, the beautiful,clear skies surrounded the city of Jackson. My mom was putting lip stick on and my Pops putting on his Jordans. We started to walk and went to go get our tickets. My friends started to ask me " What is that college", which surprised me because the college is a well known Historical Black Colleges and Universities{HBCU}. We arrived at our seats and I could only look at one place. The left corner of the Tiger Stadium. My granddaddy Tillman spent his last moments of his life in that area. The game was full of proud fans and the Mississippi Valley fans were proud of their 14-3 to start the game.
Jackson Sate struck back and got an interception and scored to make it a 14-10 game. It was soon halftime and the score was 16-14. During halftime,Hall of Famer Jerry Rice went on the field to accept an award. He came to the game because he attended Mississippi Valley before he went o the NFL. The game stayed at 16-14 and JSU won. I went to my Nanna's house and that ended my weekend because I had to come home and do homework.
Kolin,
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a very special weekend. I'm very sorry about your grandfather though.

Great story and great details. I like reading the story there than you liking JSU. Everyone knows Southern University is better.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you included all of the details, even small ones like the lipstick. I also really like how you shared why the stadium was important to you!
