The annual Stephens County High School Red Rage Pep Rally will be held tonight, August 8th, beginning at 6 p.m. on the Stephens County High School football field.
The annual event introduces Indians athletes as the school year and fall sports season begin. It features members of the Indians football program under head coach Wesley Tankersley, the Indian Spirit Cheerleaders for the football team under coaches Haley Rider and Cathy Thornton, and the Stephens County Marching Band under director Zach Towery and auxiliary members led by Kenzie and Tamara Cash. The event also serves as an introduction for all fall athletes.
Other sports active this fall include competitive cheerleading under head coach Cathy Thornton, cross country under head coaches Ben Menard and Erin Fleming, softball under the direction of Kasey Ivey, and women’s volleyball with head coach John LaFevers.
While Red Rage showcases the Stephens County Indians athletes, other Stephens County athletes are warming up for the fall season, and Stephens County Middle School is also preparing for competition.
Fall sports at Stephens County Middle School include cheerleading under Jessica Thomas, boys cross country under Blake Adams, girls cross country under the direction of Hagan Farmer, the Rebels football program under head coach Matt Miller, the Lady Rebels softball team under head coach Jeremy Stowe, and volleyball with head coach Blake Lowe.
Red Rage is also a second welcome for Stephens County’s new athletic director, Eric Sutulovich. The Middle School athletic director is Paul Batchelor.
