Friday night lights at Colby

Last Friday, September 18, the football team played host to Bates College in a scrimmage under the lights of Seaverns Field at the Harold Alfond Complex.

For the average fan, the play on the field could have been mistaken for authentic game action. Seaverns Field, in its illuminated glory, seemed to conjure the seriousness of game atmosphere. Every block, every tackle, every pass was just that much bolder and brighter. It is clear why the new complex has received so many accolades. More important to the game-like feel was the attitude of the football team on the field.
