On October 15, right around 6 p.m., the stands of the football field were looking a little emptier than usual. The reason for this was that all of the football players’, cheerleaders’, and band members’ parents could be found lined up behind the field, anxiously awaiting the beginning of pregame. Every year, Freedom dedicates the last home football game of the season to the senior football players, cheerleaders, and band members. We use this night as a way to honor all the hard work and time that the seniors have put in towards their specified group. The night went more than smoothly; the people that came out to support the students sat in the stands and cheered for each individual senior. Each senior student received their own personal biography, which was read aloud as they walked down the fifty yard line through the aligned band. The football players took the stroll first, followed by the cheerleaders, and finally the marching band, each student stopping just before the end of the field to have their picture taken. “It brings the seniors together,” senior drill team member Sami Jo Smith said. Cameras flashed left and right as all of the seniors lined up along the side of the field, and as the Star Spangled Banner played behind them, followed by our own Alma Mater; it could not have been a more picture-perfect moment. “This is when it really sinks in,” Smith said, “this is the end.”
