Go Gators, times two

It doesn't happen often -- when two opponents square off have the same team nickname -- but it can provide some entertaining and interesting reactions when it does.

On Tuesday afternoon, Perry Hall was hosting Reservoir in a well-played girls soccer game.

When the home team was all together in its huddle preparing to take the field for the start of the game, the players enthusiastically chanted 'Gators!' in unison. It was funny to see a couple Reservoir players look over in astonishment before realizing the teams shared the nickname.

Seconds later the Reservoir players roared "Gators' and took to the field. As for the fans in the stands, one of the visitors supporters cheered 'Go blue Gators!' while a home team fan played along, saying 'Our Gators are better!' Turns out, the visiting Gators went home happy with a 5-2 win.
