Football Season Was Around
Friday night in autumn means football games at Central High School in Knoxville, Tennessee. The students are excited, decked out in red and black, the colors of their home team, the Bobcats.
Seth Armstrong, Bobcat alumni, said, “Everybody’s excited at school to see how well we do. It’s what our school revolves around. It’s exciting.” In front of the crowd, there is a marching band and cheerleaders hyping everyone up. In the fall of 2014, a fresh face joined the squad: a 14-year-old freshman named Emma Walker.
