Friday was a beautiful night for a high school football game in Queen Creek, Ariz., a suburb southwest of Phoenix. The sun was setting. The San Tan Mountains formed a dramatic backdrop behind the south end zone. A person rode onto the field on a horse, carrying an American flag. It was a beautifully picturesque scene. Everything was perfect. Until the horse did what horses do.
When the horse came to a stop at the midfield logo, it promptly peed all over the field. The ill-timed urination forced the game to be delayed while a kid with a shovel went out to scoop up as much of it as possible.
So the start of the ALA Queen Creek/Saguaro game was delayed tonight...because the horse leading the Patriots out apparently decided midfield was a wonderful place to relieve itself.

I'm told the young fella with the shovel had to make two trips out there to clean it all up. pic.twitter.com/x1qzNE9uz7
