“Senior night was a very emotional night for me. Knowing that I would never have the chance to play at Grim again was very hard for me to get over,” senior Alex Hernandez said. “I’ve [come] to love the school, the team and the stadium, and it was a tough game but I enjoyed it very much, [especially since] I got to play with my best friends for the last time at home. I’ve loved every second of every game I’ve played for this school, and I’m thankful for that experience.”
