BATTLE FOR THE BANNER
SPIRIT TEAM LEADERS WORK TO WIN COVETED “BANNER”
Many Hamilton Southeastern students as well as many students around the state, have probably heard the term “The Banner” at high school football games. As the student body becomes more familiar with this new term, the buildup to earn “The Banner” has only increased. In short, “The Banner” holds symbolism for a school’s level of school spirit displayed at football games or similar sporting events. “The banner is the spirit award for the football student section in Indiana,” Blue Crew Member/ Spirit Team Leader Holden Malone said. “Wish TV awards it to the high school they feel deserves it.” Many question why they should put in so much e ort to get a little piece of fabric. Why is this banner so important to the school and student body as a whole? “For the senior class, it is something that has unifi ed us and it is something we want to use to bring our whole school together,” Malone said. “It is an award for the student body, not just one team.” In a world where your school year could be cut short at any moment, it is important to make the most of the school year, and in this case, maybe win an award. While the banner’s popularity has grown this year in the school’s e orts to earn it, spirit team leaders have been going out for all the games to show Wish TV Hamilton Southeastern is the best candidate to receive the banner. Blue Crew Leaders have been dedicating every football game to its own theme, encouraging students to attend more than just football games, and everything in between. Story by Bailey Lincoln
