We are the Sebring Blue Streaks. When I heard that the football team came out in black jerseys I was upset. Who approved this? Did the school board? Did the high school? Did the coaches? I'm sorry but this is an outrage. This just isn't about the football team, it's about all the teams and the band changing to black. We look like a big bruise on the field.
