Minarets Senior night was one to remember! From start to finish, the evening was filled with energy, emotion, and Mustang pride. The celebration began with a heartfelt senior ceremony honoring 25 seniors across the Equestrian team, Cheer, and Football, 15 of them from the football team alone. It was a touching moment that reflected years of dedication, effort, and team work.
The night’s emotions were high from the very beginning. When Shauna Speak sang the national anthem, the crowd was silent, moved by every note as the players lifted their helmets in unity. It wasn’t just another anthem. It marked the final one for these seniors, and you could feel the weight of that moment across the field.
Before Kickoff, the team gathered for one last pre-game prayer, grounding themselves before stepping onto the field. The first half was intense, a true back-and-forth battle with touchdowns from both sides. By halftime, the energy only grew as cheer took the field for their final home performance, a powerful, unforgettable routine that had the crowd roaring.
As the second half began, the Mustangs came out ready to finish strong. Their determination showed in every play. The third quarter saw Minarets take control, with impressive touchdowns and unstoppable defense. When the final whistle blew, the scoreboard read 49–14. The Mustangs had defeated Parlier, securing a memorable win on a night dedicated to their seniors.
Senior Night was more than just a game, it was a celebration of commitment, teamwork, and the end of an incredible chapter for Minarets’ Class of 2025.
