Jeremy Morris '09 - The class of 2009 set out on our senior trip with open hearts and open minds. Our goal was to get closer as a class and become one cohesive unit. Our first journey was the 24 hour long trip to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where we went white water rafting. This was an amazing time and gave us a chance to bond on a river. Even though the water was less than 50 degrees Tony managed to fall in twice taking Rich along with him once. Our next major journey and the main reason we took the trip was to drive down to Utah and climb Kings Peak which is the highest peak in the state. The fun has begun! We started off with a 10 mile hike to the base of the mountain where we made camp and prepared our self for the amazing climb that next morning.

 We woke up at about 6am and began our journey to the base of the mountain where we scaled the false peak which was an absolute beast.  Rode said the night before that this might be the hardest thing that some of us have done, and he was right. Imagine seeing five linemen climbing up a mountain, not a pretty sight. With the help of Rode, Brent, Kraft, D Mann, Schwanee, Calvin, Bubba, Rich, and Pilli to name a few we made it. This was a complete class effort, everyone had their role for that day, and without each and every person we would not have made it. The class of 2009 bonded into a group of brothers that will be a force on the field in the upcoming season.
