The Eldridge "Ghosts"

On Sunday afternoons
when people avoid the sun,
these kids are on the ball field
showing us how it's done.

With history as our armor
and hospitality at our side.
We wield these together
with fury and pride.

Sweat dribbles from the kicker's head
and inches toward his brow.
Chants and Cheers for Eldridge
rise up from the crowd.

A flowing kick, a swift connect
through the air the ball soars.
It plants down hard in center field
so another runner scores.

We've dealt with many other teams
and burnt them all to toast,
but that's what happens when you mess
with the Eldridge "Ghosts"!
