One legendary event known to most Sterling Rangers was the first varsity foot- ball victory over the Lee Ganders. In the fall of ’71 the Ranger glory had just begun ... and thus began the classic song com- memorating a stupendous win over the cross-town rivals. The song, The Night We Drove ’Ole Dixie Down, with Ranger- tailored lyrics, became Sterling’s anthem to victorious times, combining the best of sporting events with the epitome of victories. One outstanding event — if something 10 feet tall can be considered outstanding — was the unveiling of the new Ranger mascot held during the annual Pigskin Preview September 2, the first day of school. An annual event, along with the presentation of the new school symbol, combined the best of the old and the new to help firmly establish that new things continually added, kept things interesting in the realm of... a classic setting.
