“In lieu of our normal senior celebration, our current and future booster presidents came up with the idea of creating lawn signs and visiting each players home on Saturday,” Chatman said.

“Along with getting a chance to see our guys (none of which I’ve seen since our last day of school, Friday March 13) it took roughly five and a half hours.

“We were able to visit all 10 seniors, delivered each of them a cool lawn sign, spent 20 to 30 minutes getting caught up, shared much needed smiles and laughs and most importantly just broke up the monotony of isolation.”
