Senior Spotlight!
To honor the hard-working faculty at Gordon Central, the football team has selected a staff member to serve as an honorary team captain for our home football game this week again Murray County.
The selected captain, will be invited to the pregame meal, get a behind the scenes tour of pregame routines, have sideline access to the game, be recognized over the PA, and walk out with the captains for coin toss.
Like previous weeks, the tough part is selecting one person from such a great group of professionals! Your dedication to our young people is both respected and appreciated!!
This week we had 5 teachers and staff members nominated. One was ultimately selected…..
So at this time, we are proud to announce that the home-game #5:
Gridiron Captain of the Week goes to Verdy Jocelyn!!
