Tradition of Pride Every Friday night, students, parents, faculty members, and even former high school students gathered together as a community to cheer on their symbol of pride — the Varsity Football Team. This weekly pastime was considered a highly emo- tional and infamous tradition. It brought with it traditions of pep rallies, after game celebrations and parties, and an enormous amount of school spirit. Though this season had its ups and downs, the tradition of pride was great- ly upheld. Under the guidance of Coach Jerry Durnin, each player was taught to value teamwork and a sense of determination, even when no victory appeared in sight. No other team had displayed such unfailing consistency. After having only two players return from last year, the Varstiy team proved they had the will to adapt. Quarterback Reggie Wynn had an outstanding season. Other predominant players in- cluded: James Caldwell. Reggie Jones, and Willie Farmer. Although there was much inexperience at first, the foundations set would prove beneficial to future players Football is beneficial to us all in some way. It gives coaches a sense of commitment. It gives players a chance to use their God-given talents, developed through practice. Students from former years, as well as parents, use it as a link to their former days in high school. While teachers, other faculty, and members of the Band see in football an opportunity to demonstrate their sense of pride. No wonder football is such a well respected and timeless tradition!
