Photo Gallery: Senior night football

Grace Nguyen and Jade Owens • November 5, 2019

On Friday, Nov. 1, the Leopards played the Denison Yellow Jackets for their senior night matchup. At 6:30 p.m., prior to the game, seniors participating in football, sports medicine, band, majestics, cross country, golf, and swim walked across the field to commemorate their senior seasons. The Leopards won in overtime against Denison 31-24 and will play the Frisco Raccoons on Nov. 8 at Frisco Memorial Stadium.

Fueled daily by three iced vanilla coffees, standing at 5’2”, Grace Nguyen will walk into the E103 door with no problem. Grace is entering senior year, and the only reason she is believed to have survived high school is because of the napping couch in the photography studio. During her time on staff, Grace has been to almost every football game, win or loss, and wouldn’t have changed a thing. Yes, Grace has been tackled by football players, run over by coaches, and body slammed by referees. Nonetheless, Grace will confidently walk on the field this year, bruises and all, alongside her sideline media team. Stepping outside the newsroom, which is rare, Grace enjoys playing softball, hanging out with family and friends, and finding excuses to go to every $3 Pazookie Tuesdays at BJ’s. After high school, Grace hopes to pursue a career in sports photojournalism, so watch out for her still getting run over by athletes on ESPN in the years to come. Although it’s bittersweet to leave newspaper upon graduation, Grace is thankful for all the opportunities that she’s had on staff. Through The Red Ledger, Grace created long-lasting friendships and won a lot of awards that she never imagined was possible. Grace hopes that current and future staffers will think of this national-award-winning publication the same way as she did–a second family and their home away from home.
