A pumped crowd before the game

On Friday, September, 6, 2013, The Bob Jones student section was quite a sight. There was crowd surfing, baby powder clouds* and eager students cheering for the Patriots to beat the James Clemens Jets. Bob Jones staff, football players and spectators were amazed by the school spirit shown by the hundreds of students dressed in red.

Bob Jones principal, Mr. Robby Parker posted this tweet the day after the game:

“If there was a state championship of student sections, BJ would win it!!! Proud of my kids!!!”

Note: Even though throwing baby powder was a favorite activity among the students in the Bob Jones student section, Madison City Schools have decided to ban the use of baby powder because of potential health risks. Superintendent Dee Fowler, Principal Robby Parker, and Principal Brian Clayton made the decision. Students who still choose to use baby powder will be asked to leave the game.

My name is Siri Rossly, and I am an exchange student from Norway. I came to America without a clue about anything here, but so far it's been good! I love to travel and meet new people my age, so an exchange year is a good way of doing that. I do not have a certain plan when it comes to a college other than trying to get in here in the States! When it comes to the Patriot Pages, I hope to contribute in a positive way, and, also, enjoy it as a cultural difference from my home country.

My name is Armon Mobasher, and I am a sophomore at Bob Jones. It will probably be easier to say what I don't do, but I'll try it the typical way first. I like to play tennis, piano, and the trombone. I am on the Debate Team, the Math Team, and I will also be doing a Model UN this year. Some things I do outside of school are performing with the Madison City Youth Orchestra and Madison Community Band. Someday I hope to go to Alabama, Auburn, or Vanderbilt for college, even though I am a huge Florida Gators fan.
