Volleyball Senior Night is held on Oct. 30 and football is Nov. 7.
On the defensive line, Dillon Owens, ’15, looks forward to his friends and family to come and support him.
“It’s the last chance for the fans to watch us play a game before playoffs,” Owens said. “Its going to be a great game, I hope that the student section will be packed and loud. I’m also excited that my whole family will be coming to watch me play.”
Football coach Mick Fuller, is pleased with how far the players have come and anticipates the rest of the season.
“Preparation for Senior Recognition Night is no different from other games,” Fuller said. “For the players and their parents, it can be a little more emotionally stirring. Often, the event motivates the players to a higher level of performance as their final opportunity to play on the home field as FC athletes.”
Dorothy Siqueiros, mother of Gabriela Siqueiros, is proud of Gabriela and cannot wait to see how well she plays.
“We love her and are proud of how far she’s come,” Siqueiros said. “Its really fun watching Gaby play with her team, but it is also sad at the same time that is the last home game. Gaby’s grandparents and family are going to be there to support her. We’re looking forward to having a good rest of the season.”
Volleyball Coach Jonathan Penberthy, has enjoyed coaching the seniors and hopes that they all play their best for senior night.
“Students should come to senior night so that they can see their seniors play their last home game,” Penberthy said. “These players have come a long way and their work has paid off. My advice to the seniors would be to come out swinging because it may be their last home game that they will be playing.”
Volleyball fan Kimberly Ward, ’15, is eager to watch her friends play, she hopes that a lot of students will come along and support.
“I’m excited to come out to senior night,” Ward said. “Its great to watch Ashley (Garcia), Gaby (Siqueiros) , Ivette (Ibarra) and Breanna (Jennings) play; I am really close to all of them, and to see them play on a team together is awesome. It is going to be a great game, hopefully a lot of students attend.”
