"Every sporting event I have ever attended at FHS has always been filled to the brimwith FHS cheer," exclaimed Eric Ernst. Each year, Rebel fans tried to out do their rivals, the Centennial Cougars, with the rowdiest, most colorful, and spirited fans. "Every sport had their own unique way of showing pride. Basketball had the spirit signs, football had 1 the painted chests, and soccer had the cheering crowds," explains Renecia Daughrity, a varsity basketball cheerleader. Friday nights in the fall were spent in the stadiumbleacherswatching the football teamwhile colder winter nights were spent on the gym side– lines cheering on the basketball teams. Students did not just attend sporting events for the final score, but to cheer on the Rebels. Students were always inspired into a round of applause when it came to school spirit.
