I wanted to show off some extra scenes from the Pigskin Roundup Spring Jam at Burgess-Snow Field.  Scroll to the bottom of the post for the photos of all four games.  On day one we had some military helicopters fly around the stadium and even land nearby!  It was a cool sight!

And on day two I took some great photos of the sunset.  A storm delayed the games for a little bit and the clouds provided a great scene!

Plus who could not resist some other great photos of the event!

The final game of the Pigskin Roundup Spring Jam featured two strong teams who showed their strengths throughout the game.  Walter Wellborn and Alexandria both had strong years last Fall and after watching them both play.  I am sure that both teams will have strong seasons this Fall.  The final score was 28-28 and ended at a tie.  Enjoy the photos below and Pigskin Roundup will start its ninth season August 31st at 10:30pm on TV 24.

On the second day of the Pigskin Roundup Spring Jam the first game featured an Donoho team who had a very strong year last Fall going deep into the playoffs and losing to the eventual 1A champs Marion County.  The other team White Plains came off a tough season last Fall and is rebuilding for the next season.  White Plains won the game 28-21.  But both teams showed talent on the field which will translate to great success this Fall.  Enjoy the photos!

The second game in the Pigskin Roundup Spring Jam featured Saks which came off a very strong year last Fall.  The opponent was Pleasant Valley which had an average season last Fall.  Right off the bat Saks scored and then kept scoring and stayed strong throughout the game.  The final score was 34-0 with Saks winning.  Saks is going to have a strong year next Fall while Pleasant Valley has got some building to do.  Enjoy the pictures below!

Over the next few days on Geek Alabama I am going to feature pictures from the four games being showcased on the Pigskin Roundup Spring Jam at Burgess-Snow Field on the campus of Jacksonville State.  The first game was Ohatchee vs. Weaver.  Ohatchee has a brand new head football coach while Weaver is coming off an successful season last year.  The final score was 60-7 with Weaver winning.  I think Weaver is going to have a strong year this Fall!  Enjoy the photos!
