Fox 2 News Films Columbia and Waterloo Pep Rallies

Fox 2 News of St. Louis Morning Show’s Charlie Marlow and Tim Ezell, left, filmed their Prep Zone Pep Rally this morning in Monroe County. One camera was at the Columbia High School and a second at Waterloo High School. The schools held rallies to root on their football teams in tonight’s cross-county match-up. The WHS Bulldogs heads to Columbia to take on the state runner-up Eagles. Kick-off is at 7 p.m. A video clip of the hot dog eating contest is located at: http://www.youtube.com/user/MoCoIndependent.

Waterloo High School kicker Ben Skaer, 5, correctly answers the Family Feud question, “Name the hardest things to train a dog.” The top five answers on the board were housebreaking, rollover, sit, stop barking and fetch. The question stumped the CHS football team, so the Bulldogs got some early momentum today. It is not sure if the Family Feud victory will carry over to tonight’s gridiron matchup.       – photo by Gage Wienhoff
