It's an art getting the players and coaches aligned for the team photo.
Players and coaches spend three days and nights together at the school practicing, eating, sleeping and bonding with activities.
Nunamacher, a lineman, said he was caught off guard when a parent wished him a happy birthday as he was walking down the hallway toward the annual photo day session. “I kind of wish they (teammates) didn’t hear it,” Nunamacher said.
No party was planned at the camp but Nunamacher did have one wish for the final night of camp. “I just want to sleep tonight,” he said.
OH MOM! As the players were being positioned for the team photo, a mom observing the event offered this advice to her son: “You better behave.”
THANK GOODNESS FOR MOMS: Lisa Goldsmith and Julie Bull spent as much time at the camp Thursday as the players. While facilitating other parents with organizing the meals during the camp, they were also in the hot sun during the photo shoot providing light refreshments for players battling the heat and humidity.
SPECIAL PHOTO OP: J. P. Clark had no trouble hooking up with his girlfriend, Hanna Seymore, for a personal photo. Seymore is a cheerleader and the varsity and jayvee teams were also having their photos taken at the same time.
BLACK AND WHITE: Varsity players and cheerleaders wore white uniforms and the jayvees wore black.
