This year at MHS, Mrs. Martin and the other English teachers hold up signs every Friday roasting the football players and coaches. Earlier in the season, they made signs about Freshmen Joe Paul Perkins, Max Ray, Kody Fisk, and John Riley Weeks. Then they made one about Senior Dawson Phillips, saying, “Dawson Phillips > Lance Harbour” and “@ Dawson Phillips you play football?” with a bunch of question marks around it. Then the following week they made signs about Coaches Young and Haynes. They had a picture of Haynes when he was younger doing some karate. Then, a picture of Young wearing a tacky Christmas sweater. They made one about Coach Hood with a picture of him dressed as a girl for a womanless beauty pageant. They also made one about Cooper Blansett saying he was “2 nice 2 have an ugly sign.”
These signs are a way for the football members to have some fun this year. The teachers enjoy making them, and the students can’t wait to see what signs they have each week. Some students even asked the teachers to make one of them. It’s a fun way to get some school spirit, and everyone looks forward to seeing the future roasts for the rest of football season.
