Just before the Rock Bridge versus Helias Catholic game began, 13-year-old Jack Ewers wrapped his arms around his mother in preparation to pray. Leaning in closer, his mother Tam Ewers grinned. The two, holding tightly until the end of the prayer, came to support an older brother — a senior in the band. Battle, Rock Bridge and Fulton boarded buses and took a trip away from home. Returning to Columbia with a lone Spartan win and Hornet, Bruin losses, our visual journalists present 'Friday Night Sights' — the magic and wonder of Friday night football.
