Early September and we have left the starting gate in
pursuit of a high school diploma. Just nine months and our twelve or thirteen
years of formal education will be history.
September is similar to being shot out of a cannon. Pep
Band, cheerleaders and the footballers have spent August training so they could
hit the ground running when classes began. By the end of back-to-school-week,
team triangle—Pep Band, cheerleaders, and athletes were synchronized and
feeding off each other, creating some of the most vivid memories from CHS.
We had two football games that September. Mendocino proved
feisty and a 6-6 tie is where it ended. We took our frustration out on
Healdsburg the following week, 14-0, us.
Closing the door on September we were inspired and motivated
to gain momentum, knowing we had just 50 years to surface at the Lockhorn, two
blocks north of “the stoplight” in downtown Cloverdale.
