SAN BENITO — Bobby Morrow Stadium has seen its fair share of history-making moments for the Greyhound faithful, but Friday was more about the feels.
The Class of 2023 put on their purple and gold for the final time as high school students, and they did so in style by decorating the top of their caps with personalized messages such as, “The end of a decade but the start of an age.”
The ceremony was also filled with music and fanfare, a staple for a community accustomed to expressing themselves artistically.
