2017 Season Comes to a Close
Last night we all came together one last time to honor our 2017 football teams. It was a fun night that began with a great meal provided by Trey Jordan '83 and Pimento's. While everyone ate we watched some of this year's highlights. After the Invocation by Captian Bobby Wade, Mr. Sanders opened the evening with a special message.
Coach Ray introduced our Cheer sponsor Becca Keel to recognize the 2017 football cheerleaders. Captains John Bolton, Joe Carter, and Buchanan Dunavant presented flowers and gifts to this group of girls who did an outstanding job all season.
Coach Alston then provided a brief review of the season followed by all position coaches recognizing their group. This is a fun time for all of the coaches to say thanks to all the boys but especially the seniors for their efforts this year.
Coach Alston then presented awards to several members of the team. Captains John Bolton, Joe Carter, Buchanan Dunavnt, and Bobby Wade received memorial footballs recognizing them for their efforts as our team leaders.
