The time has now come and the realization has set in. Sadness, excitement, and nervousness overwhelm seniors as they get ready for Senior Night. They are filled with emotions as they prepare for their last games and others their last school events. Cross country, football, cheer, and band members are all sharing similar emotions as their time at EFHS is ending. “Well, our season didn’t exactly go as we hoped it would,” senior football player Walker Jefferson said. “It definitely was a rough one, but I have made a ton of memories this season and wouldn’t want to go to war on Friday nights my senior season with anyone else. I definitely think the new coaching staff is going to lead the EF football program to success in the future, and I like the way that they took us all in and loved each and everyone of us. They not only tried their best for us to succeed but to, most importantly, make sure that we had fun while doing it. I’m definitely going to miss going out with the boys and eating as a team every week and being a part of this program each and everyday. Similar feelings are felt by cheerleaders about FNL ending soon. “It’s so sad to think about having one game left!” senior Bryanne Beavers said. “Football season is my favorite season! I will miss the feeling of Friday Night Lights!” While still sad about his time at EF coming to an end, senior cross country runner Grant Sims is excited for the future. “[I’m] super proud,” Sims said. “I’m looking forward to surrounding myself with runners who are much better than me. I am also looking forward to bettering my academics and pursuing my major.” Likewise, sadness fills senior band member Baylee Marcum’s heart. “I’m very sad about it coming to an end, but I know that the band will do great things without the seniors,” Marcum said. While the seasons are short the memories may last a lifetime. “Although my days as a Jacket are unfortunately coming to an end, I’ll always love and support my brothers and this group of coaches in the future to come,” Jefferson said.
