The Class of 2025 WOS Football Mom’s and Grandmother’s hosted the Inaugural Senior Recognition banquet on Friday January 3, 2025 at The American Legion. This banquet was a way to say “Thank You” to the Senior Class of 2025 Mustang football players and senior Trainers.
The players that participated were introduced and escorted in by their parents/grandparents by the Friday Night Lights Announcer – Mr. Roderick Robertson like only he could do. After various speakers from their earlier little league days each player received a keepsake that was presented to them by Coach Russell Bottley and Board Members Demetrius Hunter and Donnie Teate.
Coach Hiawatha Hickman spoke personally about each player present and what they meant to the Mustangs. The guest speaker, former Mustang Deionte “Playmaker” Thompson, gave those present words of wisdom and inspiration. He noted that people give advice and their opinions but stated most of the time they are “critics without credentials” and to keep doing your best!
Afterwards the players and their moms took to the floor to line dance showing they do more than throw, block and tackle. The event was spearheaded by Rhonda Orebo, Brenda O’Neal, Lawanna Cotton and Tayona Abear and their sponsors.
