Food for Thought
"The Day of the Big Game" by Zenobia Vessell Carter We woke up with happiness and we all gave a cheer. It's Championship day, it's practically here! And we frowned at that snow as it covered the town!  I must get to New Orleans but what I could do now? And we thought very hard and gave a sly grin!  No matter what Richwood those Saints are marching in!  And all the Saints down in Saintsville were dressed and ready to go! We've waited for years, we won't get stopped by snow! So on the Saints went and all you heard was this sound, History was made this day baby we are DOME BOUND!!! And we'll band close together with our Saints bell ringing    And all the fans will be in harmony singing! "You got to want it,  to get it" that's what we'll all say!!!!! Watch out New Orleans the SAINTS  are the on the way!!!  A special thanks goes to our community for traveling through the snow to get to the Dome!  A reporter told me that we had the largest audience of all the playoff games! Congratulations goes to Davon "Smoke" Harris!  State Athletic Director Eddie Bonine awarded him with the honor of "Most Outstanding Player".  Smoke also set a Prep Classic record for kick return yardage. Senior Chad Tillery breaks up a pass intended for Richwood's Spivey. Clayton Howard makes a big run against Richwood. Dilly! Dilly! Our Saints are 3A State Champions! It is a GREAT Day to be a Saint! Seniors Derek Turner and Senior Davon Harris celebrate with Coach Robb Odom. "This is the most awesome event in high school football, and I'm glad we could experience it." --Coach Odom #BelieveTheHype #WeAreWestFel Go Saints!
