Southeast Bulloch High School is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its 1973 back-to-back state football championship.
The school is inviting alumni of the 1973 football team, its cheerleaders, coaches, managers, and statisticians to Brooklet's Fred Shaver Field on Friday, October 6, to be recognized during the Yellow Jackets' home football game against New Hampstead. Those in attendance will be honored on the field prior to the start of the game.
The football field is named for the legendary coach, Fred Sahaver, who led Southeast Bulloch to consecutive state championships in 1972 and 1973. Coach Shaver still keeps a watchful eye over the Yellow Jackets on home-game Fridays from a special on-field seating area.
Participants are asked to gather by 6:45 p.m., at the stadium's Pass Gate, which is the gate to the right of the main gate, closest to the stands. Please contact Coach John page if you need additional information at 912-687-3729.
The Yellow Jackets' squad is currently led by Head Coach Jared Zito. He has tapped into the school's storied history to rally players, coaches, and fans around a "Return to Glory," theme. The team's heads into Friday's game with a 4-2 record in a very tough region that currently includes three teams that are ranked in the state's top 10.
