Choir Teacher, Sarah Bowmen, thought it would be a great idea for the football team to sing the National Anthem before one of the high school’s athletic events.  She had to first convince Coach Wilson that the boys could do it, then she had to see if enough of the players would take it seriously and be willing to put in the extra time to do it.  More than half the team said they would like to take part!  They started in the beginning of September and stayed after practice one day a week to work with Ms. Bowmen.  Finally, on Thursday, October 9th, before the volleyball game between Fruitport and Tri-County, 30 of the varsity football players walked into the gym and sang the National Anthem with pride and dignity.

The team would like to thank Ms. Bowmen for not only her time and effort, but also for believing in them.

Several members of the Varsity Football Team donated part of their weekend to build a wheelchair ramp on Saturday, September 27th.  The ramp was built for Judy Hiemstra, who is the mother of one of our Edgewood elementary teachers, Kathy Six.

 The builders where; Wade Ackerson, DeAngelo Beane, Kevin Fortier, Dominic McFee, Logan Closs, Mike Hall, Rodger Scott, Jared Rickert, Bill Burns, Matt Gibbs, Evan Kamp, and Coach Josh Fri.

 Nice Job men!
