Liberty Loves Their Seniors

Making history with Liberty’s first ever Senior Nights

Maddie Baker, Sports Editor

Senior night is one of the many things you look forward to in high school and is typically held towards one of the last home games.

The main point of senior night is to recognize all the seniors and the hard work they have put in throughout the years of playing the sport they love.

This year, being the first year that Liberty has seniors, is the year all the sports wanted to show how much they love their seniors.

Each sport does something different to show them how much the teams have appreciated the seniors’ hard work and dedication to the team.

At senior night, the teams usually give gifts, have the seniors talk about their favorite moments while playing the sport and typically have some sort of celebration afterwards.

Each team had something very special planned for their seniors.

Football had the seniors walk across the field with their parents, had banners made for the seniors and got medals.
Cheer had shirts made along with sashes, banners with the pictures of the seniors, medals, cake with the seniors’ name on it, and a barbecue before the game started.

Softball walked across the field with parents, received flowers from their parents/teammates, a keychain from the softball team and a medal.

“My favorite part was having all my family members come and support me,” Abby Sesti said.

Dance went to the seniors’ houses and put a sign in each house, then wrote on their cars with car paint. Once dance team got back to the school, they wrote on their parking spots with sidewalk chalk with quotes and each member of the team wrote a letter to each senior.

Boys soccer got the seniors an Ozark cup, a picture of all the seniors, a QT gift card and candy.

Girls tennis had banners with the girls’ action pictures made for them, chairs with their names on them, sweat towels also with their names on them and at the end of the night had desserts, fruits and snacks for everyone to have.
Girls volleyball also had banners made for their seniors, signs, t-shirts and a scrapbook with notes from everyone in the program.

“I liked the photo album the most,” senior Sam Cox said. “It felt good to feel appreciated. It was like I did make a

difference for everyone in the program and I wasn’t just another person who played.”

Boys swimming had the seniors and their parents walk through a small tunnel and recognized.
