Students at Haw Creek Elementary met some special greeters in the car rider line who they can really look up to - in every way. A.C. Reynolds High School football players Zion Ikeme and Jeremiah Jeter showed their speed and agility, moving cars through as they welcomed students and invited families to come watch them play tonight. The teens both attended Haw Creek when they were younger.
“Being here is very nostalgic,” Jeremiah shared. “I remember getting out of the car here years ago. Back then, I looked up to football players, and now it’s amazing to maybe inspire these kids to play a varsity sport one day.”
The Rockets greeted students at other elementary schools in the Reynolds district this morning as well. Reynolds is offering elementary students free admission to tonight’s game.
“We love having students of all ages come out and be part of game night,” said Zion. “It brings the community together, everybody cheering, and being part of the excitement.”
Reynolds hosts Murphy tonight at 7:30pm.
