“I honestly just love watching the games and being super loud and supporting. It’s just fun to bring the energy and meet all the new, cool people that come to the games and come to the school to support,” DRHS super fan Liv Fosselius said. “I like being able to support our Eagles, and just bring the energy, and dress up, and be loud for no reason, and just bring the hype to our school.”
