With every beginning, there comes an end. The end came this week when the Lady Varsity Softball team lost in the playoffs to Lexington. With the loss, the 2007-2008 Sports Year came to an end. We all remember the high points and low points of this year. Football victories over Madison Academy and New Hope come to mind, but who can forget that long drive back from Clay County? The basketball team had that thrilling victory before a home crowd in the Thanksgiving Tournament, and the girls proved that hard work and a teamwork can win ballgames. The baseball team entered the season with enormous expectations, and they finished with one of the best seasons in the program's history, but the early shutout in the playoffs crushed the hopes of a state championship.
This year's graduating class will be the largest in school history. They all leave with memories, made on the field and on the court. They remember the remarkable football season in 2004 (their freshmen year). They remember the coming and going of coaches. And they all certainly remember the loss of their fellow classmate and athlete, Kaleb Mewbourn in 2001. The legacy of this largest class is yet to be determined, but one thing is certain, they all continued the proud and distinct tradition of being a Holly Pond Bronco.
A Look to This Fall:
Enjoy the summer and be sure to check the Bronco Blog this August, a new partnership is being planned to better cover Holly Pond Athletics on a more consistent level. Thank you for a great year and Go Broncos!
