The Football Cheer seniors who shared their cheers with us this season were Kennedy Klundt, Kylie Klundt, Eden Swails and Addie Winger. Reece Richmond said “The banquet was full of memorable stuff. The coach’s all gave a short speech about every player. We also watched our season highlight video. At the end we received our season awards where I earned 2nd Team All Conference Offensive Guard. I also received 1st Team All Conference Defensive Tackle.” Gage Hugart said “The banquet was a great experience, with it being the last one I’ll have with all my friends. It made me think about the good times the team had together. The awards I got were Offensive MVP, 2nd team all conference flex/athlete, and I broke the schools single season passing yards record.” Michael Benoit said “I was very impressed by the banquet, the coaches were very sincere and showed their support for all of the players. I would also say it was a very special moment for all the seniors to get recognized one last time. As for awards, I received the RAM award for leadership, respect, and success on and off the field.”
