Fan spirit is crucial. It encourages players to do their best and shows other fans that our students are supportive of their classmates.
In years past, fan spirit has been high for mostly football, but this year it has been surprisingly high for all sports. Even the traditional minor sports are receiving the credit they deserve. For the first time, many students attended minor sporting events like cross country meets.
One reason fan attendance has increased is many of the teams were good this year. With winning records and competitive play, all teams this season showed dedication and heart.
For example, cross country isn’t the typical spectator sport, but many people found themselves at the meets for the first time. The boys made it to the state tournament at Scioto Downs for the first time in 30 years and that is exciting for the Hoban student body.
This year, five out of nine teams made it past the first round of the playoffs; but, state-ranked teams isn’t the only reason we should support our programs.
Fans were present this season when the girls soccer team moved up to a new division due to enrollment. People knew it would be challenging, but fans never lost faith– even in the last game against North Royalton.
During the boys soccer playoff game against St. Vincent-St. Mary, students created a sign reading, “You will never walk alone.”
This sign speaks volumes about the Hoban family and the way in which we support eah other here.
Fall sports are almost over and winter sports are starting soon. Let’s keep the fan spirit high as the seasons change
