Senior Night
This year's Senior Night is on Thursday, October 3. Senior players and their loved ones stand on the field at halftime during the Varsity game and wave as fans cheer. Each player is introduced by name and jersey number and thanked for his contributions to the team. Loved ones, in turn, receive a flower or small gift from their player as a token of appreciation for the support they've given him over the years.
Ceremony Process:
- Loved ones line up by the senior banners 10 minutes before halftime.
- At halftime, they enter the field together, keeping a space between each group.
- The announcer calls a player's name and jersey number.
- The player runs through a team tunnel and joins his group of loved ones on the field.
- Everyone stays on the field until every player has been introduced and every group has been photographed.
- Everyone exits the field together.
"Loved ones" are parents, grandparents, sisters, brothers, girlfriends, mentors, teachers, coaches, guardians, friends, neighbors, etc. They get free admission to both JV and Varsity games on Senior Night (tell the ticket booth that's why you're there).
