Tradition Begins with 5th/6th Grade Football
It was a special day for Hornet football with the inaugural Shirt to Shoe ceremony! The Varsity players presented the game jerseys to the 5th/6th grade football players and spoke about what Country Day football means to them. The jersey represents the beginning of a player’s Hornet football career, while the burning of a cleat at the final Varsity practice will symbolize the end. A great day to be a Hornet!!Read More -
