From being a freshman, to now graduating in just a few months, the seniors will have to say their goodbyes. Seniors Celia Jones, Nicolo D’Antonio, and Tyler Ludke, discuss their thoughts about leaving behind fall sports.Senior Celia Jones began cheering her freshman year and performed on Oct. 23, at her last football game. Jones discusses the memories and bonds she will miss when the season finishes.“I started cheering my freshman year on JV and fell in love with the competition part of Varsity cheer. I’ll miss the bonds I make with teammates and the support I get from coaches. Yes, I’m sad to leave cheer but I’m still considering cheering in college so I know it won’t fully be over,” Jones said.Head Coach Shannon Bryan speaks on behalf of the seniors, as she has watched these hardworking students grow into young adults as the years go by. “I am going to miss the laughs that they brought to practice everyday. They made it a point to make the season fun, but knew when to take on the serious, leadership role when it came down to it. This senior class will be missed greatly.” Bryan said.Senior Nicolo D’Antonio began pursuing football when he was in Elementary School, D’Antonio is bittersweet about his final season coming to an end. D’Antonio plays for the varsity football team as a part of the offensive and defensive line. “I will miss playing with my teammates, making memories, and being part of a team. I started playing football in third grade when I was eight years old at Ashby Lee Elementary in Basye, Virginia. I’m not really sad to leave football. I’ve enjoyed playing, but I’m ready to move on and focus on other things,” D’Antonio said.Senior Tyler Ludke has been a cross country and track runner all throughout his high school career. Ludke finished out his last season with his team placing 2nd.“After years of late practices, hard workouts, and countless miles, it would mean a lot to finish my high school career competing on the biggest stage in Virginia. Qualifying for states would be a reflection of all the dedication, perseverance, and sacrifices that have gone into becoming a better team over the years. Reaching states would be a fitting conclusion to a journey that has helped shape me as both an athlete and a person. My goal is to leave everything on the course and ensure that my final race as a senior is one to remember,” Ludke said.For these seniors it isn’t just a sport to them. It was an opportunity to find out what they were passionate about. Leaving behind high school sports won’t end their journey, but start the beginning of a road to the life ahead of them. </div></body>
