Circle of Champions

Students, faculty, administrators, political candidates, parents, and fans filed into the Kiwanis building in Andalusia as area seniors were celebrated in a night filled with music and fun. Every team in the county was in attendance except for Andalusia High School.
The evening started with an inspiring message from Covington County Superintendant Sharon Dye who spoke of achieving greatness not only in athletics, but in life. Dye was followed by Program23's Newton Peters who announced the seniors from Florala, Opp, Pleasant Home, Red Level, and Straughn as their football players, cheerleaders and band members were called down front and recognized. Florala and Red Level's bands were both in attendance and played their teams fight songs and their respective cheer teams performed. Each Cheer squad performed a routine and then the seniors were announced.
A short video clip was displayed between each school to help in exciting the players as back ground music filled the arena. After the five schools were finished Peters announced the first ever pre-season Program23 All County Team and the preseason coach.
Reid Ward from Troy, Alabama delivered a challenging message to all the athletes and seniors in attendance after several songs were performed by a local praise and workshop team. Ward's message was inspiration and directed to give the athletes a clear message about sports and life.
