Junior Kylie Bell, enjoys hanging out after the game at fifth quarter with her friends and football team.
“Not only do I like cheering in the student section but I also look forward to after the game.” Bell said. “I like how students and football players can hang out after the game at 5th quarter. It’s a chance for students to enjoy each others company outside of school.”
Over the summer, the players have conditioned and practiced to prepare for the new season. Football coach Mick Fuller, says that this year will include building both maturity and trust.
“We have lost some pivotal players who led the team physically emotionally and spiritually, new players are stepping in to fill those roles,” Fuller said. “It is an ongoing process of growth throughout the season. Over the course of the season I expect to see the boys come together and trust each other to play at a high level of achievement that they can be proud of.”
Running back Slater Wade, ’17, is proud to play on Friday on the home field and has great hopes for the upcoming season.
“This year I strive to be the best running back I can be and for God,” Wade said. “I am not nervous to play our first game because I trust my team to do well for each other. I want my team to succeed and receive rings this year.”
