“We have a lot of other chants but underclassmen will pick them up as we go along this year” Boyer said.

The football team’s pre-season win against Freedom on Friday, Aug. 26 gave everybody a glimpse of what this year is going to be like with Boyer leading the student section.

“We surprisingly had a really big student section at the game against Freedom, being that it was only pre-season,” Boyer said. “I can’t wait to see how this first pep-rally goes.”
