As a student who gets into the action of football games, I can always be seen yelling and cheering at the Coppell stadium on Friday nights. No matter if its pouring down rain or incredibly hot, I love the excitement and rush generated at each and every game.

So with Coppell’s last home game rapidly approaching, I’m sad to say goodbye to Buddy Echols Field.

Tonight’s game has been appropriately themed Senior Night for the students who have crammed in the bleachers and stuck on Coppell tattoos for the past four years. As the last time I’ll be cheering on our Coppell Cowboys at home, I’ve come to realize how little time I have left at Coppell High School.

Having spent my time stressing over tests, laughing and joking with friends over lunch, and building relationships with my favorite teachers, my years at Coppell High School were unlike any other. Although I can’t wait to begin the next chapter of my life and can hardly contain the excitement of going to college, I am sad to leave the Coppell “bubble” behind.

Realizing that I have less than seven months to make incredible memories within Coppell which will last forever, I plan to make this year count.

By going to the last home game and experiencing the fun of Senior Night, I hope to get a sense of closure and give a final farewell to this part of my life as a Coppell high school student.
