Given decent weather, it should be a great weekend with plenty of music, activities, and opportunity of fun for all.

PLOWBOY EXES RELIVE FOOTBALL GLORY WITH OVERTIME VICTORY OVER COMMERCE
 |
| Plowboy alums prepare to run a play against Commerce in Cowboys Stadium. |
A football team composed of Plowboy exes won a thrilling overtime victory 13-12 over the Commerce Tiger exes in Arlington on Friday. The victory was an impressive one when you consider that Commerce is a 3A school and was therefore drawing from a much larger base of ex-football players than 1A Roscoe.
In the game, the Plowboys scored early in the first quarter but failed to get the point after. They held that lead until almost the end of the third quarter when Commerce made a TD but also failed to get the extra point.
