Alumni kick off sports season
The fall sports season at
DHS opened last weekend
with two alumni games
under the lights at the
high school field.
First, the alumni soccer
team booted this year’s
Indians around the field.
The final score was 3-0.
Alumni who scored were
Kris McCue, Mike Sager
and Jack Dettinger.
Next, the Odd Alumni
(who graduated in odd-
numbered years) smashed
the Even Alumni 20-0. The
0Odd’s most obvious advan-
tage was their quarterback,
last year's star Kevin
Bradley, who still rem-
embers how to throw the
ball.
Most of the alumni
seemed to have sprouted
beards and/or mustaches.
During halftime, while the
coaches waved their arms
and ‘tried to remind every-
one about which play was
which, the athletes relaxed
happily on the grass,
staring at the stars and
smiling. It was obvious that
they were having a good
time.
The alumni cheerleaders
. performed expertly. .
The alumni cheerleaders pose for our photographer
