The History of The WCHS Spirit Pants
A brief look into where the spirit pants came from and what they mean to WCHS
Nick Venn (’17) leading the senior section at a pep rally.
The spirit pants tradition has been around Woodford for years. At the last pep rally of each year, the senior with the spirit pants passes the pants down to whichever junior has the most spirit. The person with the spirit pants wears them to games, pep rallies, and spirit days. Their job is to start chants at games and hype up the student section.
The tradition started in 2017 with Nick Venn. The order of spirit pant owners is as follows; Nick Venn (’17), Hunter Hilbert (’18), Everett Thompson (’19), Lane Cecil (’20), Piper McCoun (’21), Fabian Garcia (’22), Hayden Wells (’23), and Delano Mullins (’24)
Many students look forward to finding out who gets the pants each year. We are all very excited to see Delano in the spirit pants this year as he continues on the tradition for many years to come.

This article was really cool, as someone who have never been to a prep rally it was interesting to learn about the history of a tradition completely brand new to me.
