It was lights out for Academy (figuratively and literally) as Salado beat the visiting Bees 52-21 in the Eagles' first home game of the season tonight.
The northern lights on the home side went out near the end of the half thanks to some kid who sent Salado maintenance staff scrambling by tripping a breaker or switch on the pole.
