Fort Hill Class of 2017....What a Legacy

[Seasoned Lettuce]

There are young men graduating from Fort Hill next week who have been a part of the Fort Hill Football Program for 4 years. In that time, as we all know, Fort Hill's Varsity Football Teams have won 54 out of the 55 games they've played along with 4 straight Maryland 1A State Championships. I realize the vast majority weren't active on Varsity that whole time, nonetheless it was blood, sweat, tears, and all the rigors of a Football Factory type program for all involved. Imagine being involved with a program for 4 years that won 98 % of it's games and 4 state championships. Some got to enjoy success and notoriety, the public heroes of all that success. Others toiled and battled in relative obscurity, all the while banging day in and day out against the studs in practice and in the weight room, putting in the same work. All contributed in their own significant way. If you love football. If you love Cumberland. If you love to see kids work hard and achieve team and individual goals, you gotta tip your hat to this graduating crew. Thanks for the memories, we've been walking in "High Cotton" these last four years.

Yes, well put! Looks like FH has, at my count, 6-8 players returning returning who all saw a good bit of play time on either side of ball, sound about right? Gonna be hard to match that line Big Red had the last few years, hats off to all those young men!
