CRUSADER FOOTBALL PRESS BOX TRANSFORMATION

Football has been a rich tradition at Wellington High School and Sumner County High School since the early 1900's! IMPACT BANK of Wellington knew that so with the assistance of Coach Tyler Ryan, Steve Sturgis and Samson Ledesma, this banner for the back of the football field press box was born. It features images from as far back as 1903 to present day with depictions of tradition, pride and commitment - all trademarks of the Wellington football program! Let's fill these stands and the track and get these IRONDUKES off to a great start - GO BIG RED!
