The Cowhide Rally is on the day of the last and biggest game between Mount Whitney and Redwood High School.

The two schools are rivals, and the rally gets the football players hyped up and eager for the big game.

Kadence Hetherington, ’28 said, “This rally is different because we have it on Friday, the day of the game, instead of Monday like we usually do. I feel like because it’s on Friday, it really just gets us hyped for the game that day, because ultimately that’s what the whole week leads up to that big old rivalry game.”

It is now the 71st anniversary of Cowhide, and the ASB students wanted to make this Cowhide rally very special for the upcoming big game.

Kadence Hetherington, ’28, said, “We wanted to grasp that idea of passing on the legacy, this is the seniors last Cowhide, and this is the new beginning for the freshmen.”

Ava Dodson is the rally commissioner for the Cowhide Rally, she plans the rally and comes up with all of the scripts.

Ava Dodson, ’28 said, “Cowhide is just a really big rivalry between our school and our school across the street (Mount Whitney); it’s just a way for the community to get involved, and I feel like the rally contributes by showing how much spirit and energy Redwood has when it comes to Cowhide.”

With the big football game approaching, students gathered at the Cowhide Rally to show their school spirit and support for our football team.

Ryder Fulleylove, ’30, said, “We want to get every student to be hyped and excited for the 71st anniversary of Cowhide and to have so much detail in the rally and have every student be a part of it.
