RAIN OR SHINE, THE HIVE IS ALIVE!

Despite the crackles of lightning...

 

and rain during last Friday’s Jamboree game, nothing was louder than the cheers of the students of the  “Hive”, Byrd High School’s  student section who remained in the stands despite the bad weather. 
 

The Jackets took on the  Huntington Raiders last Friday and won  the first JV game- 21-0,  before the Varsity game was canceled  due to  bad weather around 8:30. Although the Jamboree offers teams a chance to finalize players positions, Byrd’s current head coach, Mike Suggs, who led Byrd to the Division 1 Select state title game last season,  says  “Our players are chomping at the bit to get out there and get some game action, but it is what it is. We can’t control Mother Nature. We’ll get in the meeting rooms and get ready for next week against Bastrop. I hate it for these kids, though. To get right to the point of taking the field, then not get the chance to go play is frustrating, but we’ll manage.” 
 

The Jackets travel to Zachary this Friday and as many students captioned it through social media, “RAIN OR SHINE, THE HIVE IS ALIVE!”
