Old School

One of the things we tried to teach our players last year is to embrace some of the traditions that have fallen off by the way side over the years.

After every game, win or lose, the Marching Band would play the Alma Mater as the players stood in front of the band with their index finger pointed to the sky.

Other traditions have been picked up after I graduated from Henry. Like dumping the water container on the coach after a big game. (See 1986 NY Giants)

I told the players after the Hilltop game that they were not allowed to dump the cooler on me. Instead, I offered them an 'Old School' approach...

Back in the day, after a big victory, the players would pick up the coach and the team would carry him to the showers and soak the coach with all his clothes on. The following link was video taken of that very incident:
