For the 11th time in a row, the Churchill High School Chargers have beaten the Clark High School Cougars in the highly anticipated Gucci Bowl. The score of the game on Oct 22, 2020, was 28-7.
And while the on-the-field efforts are certainly something to brag about, there was a whole lot more to be proud of in other areas of the stadium.
Churchill Principal Todd Bloomer took a moment to brag on many people who came together to make the night one to remember.
“The band sounded amazing; the Spirit groups sounded as good as I have heard them in years,” Bloomer said. “I could see their smiles behind the masks! I am so proud of my band directors, my spirit coaches and our athletic coaches.”
But others showed up that night, who went out of their way to help make sure kids kept their masks on and followed safety protocols so that everyone could enjoy the night.
“Head swim coach Mark Jedow assisted the entire game and was still at the pool this morning at 6:30,” explained Bloomer. “Head cross country coach Kelly Butler Ragsdale, Head tennis coach Tom Erwin, Head softball coach Jaelene Castro, Assistant volleyball coaches Tyler Gueldner and Katie Ruiz also helped out the entire game and showed up today ready to take on the day.”
The list goes on.
“Head volleyball coach Jo Ann Hultgren went and watched Bradley vs. Eisenhower Volleyball on her night off and then came to the game to assist with crowd control,” said Bloomer. “Jackson Middle School Assistant Principal Eddie Lozano put on his WC polo and worked crowd control with us the entire night.”
But it wasn’t just coaches; the students went above and beyond as well.
“As the game was ending, we had a group of students who took a trash can and walked the student section and threw away trash,” said Bloomer. “This isn’t the first time that we have had kids pick up trash at games. It just seems to be the way Churchill does things.”
It’s that kind of dedication that continues to show the North East ISD community how much #NEISDcares.
