Yellowjacket always
When I saw the Yellowjackets yesterday fighting over the left over sugar water in the hummingbird feeder, my mind went back to Sopchoppy and how I adored the Coach Red Sanders led Yellowjackets football teams. With my sister in the Birch led band, Robert, Sam, JL, Maxie and my other friends would play behind the bleachers, pretending we were on the field. I was always Walt, the star halfback. I loved those black uniforms with the striped shoulders. I was elated in latter years after we had moved from Sopchoppy, when my hero, Walt Dickson, paid us a visit. It was a most sad day when the Wakulla County schools of the Crawfordville Panthers and the Sopchoppy Yellowjackets merged into one school at Medart to become the War Eagles. I still cannot accept that to this day.
