Match notes: Mid-day here at The Cage and Northwestern is dressed in an all white strip and Pinewood Prep is wearing a navy-white-navy kit ... The pitch is green and with the wide array of colored boots (green, red, yellow, white, etc.) on the pitch it looks like a bag of skittles was spilled ... The wind has picked up from the west and it is blowing directly into the press box as this facility sits on an east-west plane (most - well planned facilities - are generally north-south to prevent the sun rising/setting in those directions) ... Lots of photographers on hand roaming the touchlines and I believe most have visited the FATZ Cafe tent for a delicious box lunch (chicken wrap, salad, chips, sweet tea) ... The Cage's camera tower has national flags of Brookland-Cayce's players representing Honduras, Mexico, Sweden, and the United States.
