Razorbacks Bust Out At Grand Opening
By Robert Thomas
“Jump!!! Jump!!! Jump!!!” dozens of Razorbacks (eight and nine year olds) screamed from the back of the brand new aluminum bleachers at Elks Field on Friday evening. A plane with four skydivers was approaching.
The Razorbacks voices were at times seemingly putting out more decibels than the field’s notoriously loud sound system.
The noise was only broken when the Razorbacks headed off to devour the pizza supper awaiting them.
The Razorbacks were guests as the Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football Association held the grand opening for the improved and upgraded Kinsmen Sports Complex.

The pizza flowed as freely as newly tapped barrels of red wine at a vineyard on some well guarded French estate.
Following the Razorbacks going back for seconds Bryan Boys - president of the Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football Association- announced over the PA system any other kids who wanted pizza to come and grab a slice.
It lead to a bit of a stampede as children in the stands headed over for a free slice.
All of this happening while a football game was being played on the field.

During halftime the Razorbacks assembled and proceeded to break through their banner running enthusiastically through it.
An event carefully choreographed to improve on last year’s display.
And thus the future of the Kinsmen Moose Jaw Minor Football Association busted onto the field for another year.
