In fact it was more like a "wake" for the high school football team. There seems to be no school ‘spirit whatsoever and the general attitude is "Let the boys suffer alone, they are not going to win anyway." Well, maybe the boys aren‘t going to win but they certainly deserve a little backing up by the communiâ€" ty and students. o It‘s your high school team and just because they are not having a good season is no reason to stay at home. .
