Visiting teams to the Whiteford High School football field are in for a big surprise when they go to take the field this year: the seniors on Whiteford’s team are going to be looking down on them.

Or rather, mounted pictures of the seniors are going to be looking down on them.
“We going to take pictures of the senior kids and mount them on vinyl and place them on the trees on the path leading to the field,” Matt Garno, the head coach for the Bobcats, said, “just so the other teams can get a good look at them.”
Garno said he hopes the pictures will add a psych-out factor to the home games this coming season.
Aside from this, the team has been hard at work training, exercising, and getting in shape for the season. Drills are being run. The defensive line is working on upper body strength. The quarterbacks are working on accuracy. 
“We’re ready,” Garno said of the competition.
