What a Weekend! Big Win Wraps it Up
Keeping with tradition, the Bowl runneth over with fans at The 117th Game between Episcopal High School and Woodberry Forest School on Saturday, November 11.
An estimated 3,500 students and fans packed the seats and stood levels deep around the South half of the bowl to witness a matchup of two teams fighting to end their season on a note that can in an instant erase all prior losses.
As noted in Coach Panos Voulgaris’ game summary of the 21-7 victory, the Class of 2018 is one of only two classes in the last 55 years of Episcopal High School to have never experienced a losing season in football. The only other class to accomplish this was their immediate predecessors from the Class of 2017.
Spirit Week began even earlier than usual, with The Spirit of the High School chapel service on Monday. Special guest speaker and alumnus Carl Morris '99 spoke and shared some of his personal story as well as his love of Episcopal with the campus community. Friday kicked off with the special Connect on Campus event that brought back 39 alumni from five different decades to share their wisdom and experience with current students, followed by an unforgettable Hall of Fame induction attended by more than 200 alumni and friends.
The EHS drama department hosted a special one-act version of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, followed by the annual Spirit of the High School dinner in Centennial Gymnasium, where some 400 alumni and their families reconnected and enjoyed the sounds of the Episcopellas and Jack of Hearts a capella groups as well as solo performances by Mark Berry ’18 and Julia Messenger ’18. Friday evening concluded with a memorable bonfire followed by a loud and lively DJ event outside of the student center at Stewart Gym.
Saturday morning found more than 120 current and former members of the Episcopal High School family gathered to celebrate the dedication of a court at Goodman Squash Center to the memory of Christopher Shea ’14.
The crowd and energy was back and all the way to 11 by noon on Saturday, as cars, tables and bundled-up people from babies to retirees loaded up on seemingly endless tailgate-style food options before kickoff.
