Parent speaks on standing behind student athletes One of the many extracurricular activities to participate in, in high school is sports. Since 1973, Mrs. Shirley Moore has been attend- ing games that three of her five sons have played in. Jeff, Troy and Jerome all participated in foot- ball and Jeff and Jerome also played basketball. “I feel the parents should be behind them full force,” Mrs. Moore said. Being a parent of an athlete does have respon- sibilities. One is worrying about injuries. “I get cold chills when I see any player has been hurt. Foot- ball is a rough game,” she said. Mrs. Moore also said that she sees some differ- ences between Jeff's 1977 state bound football team and the 1983 football team. “The atten- dance was much larger. If you got there much after seven, you could plan on standing,” she said. To summarize what’s needed for a good team, Mrs. Moore said that the players must have re- spect for their coaches. They have to want to win, not only for themselves, but for their school, coaches and the community.
