Bucs to commemorate 50 years of football

Although Hoover High School celebrated its Homecoming with a 50-0 win over Jackson-Olin last month, the Bucs are preparing for an event of similar size when it hosts Minor on October 19.

That night, Hoover will commemorate 50 years of football at both Berry and Hoover High Schools and the storied success the programs have achieved. Over those 50 years, Hoover celebrates 39 winning seasons, eight state championships and an overall record of 412-158-7.

Hoover Athletic Director Myra Miles said the school wants to recognize anyone involved with the program over the last half century – from former players and coaches to cheerleaders and band members.

She encouraged anyone interested in participating to email JeNorri Armstead in the Hoover athletics department office at jarmstead@hoover.k12.al.us.
