Varsity cheerleaders perform at Thursday’s lunch pep rally as everyone gets ready for the upcoming game.

One of the biggest moments of the high school football season is the long-awaited rivalry game. Coming off of a fresh win against Palmetto Ridge, spirits were high heading into “Beat Lake Mary” week as students got ready for the Thursday night game. The week featured fun dress-up themes for every day and a pep rally on game day as a final send-off for cheerleaders and football players as they prepared to travel to Lake Mary High School. Despite losing the game, the student body still enjoyed the spirit-filled week and brought an electric student section.
