Korah celebrates 50 years of high school football (12 photos)

Friday was more than just a football double-header for the Korah Colts.

On a day when its junior and senior football teams ran their respective records to 5-0, Korah honoured some of the best players to ever wear a Colts jersey in a ceremony at halftime of Friday’s senior game.

In honour of 50 years of Colts football, the school put together a list of the best players in school history and many were in attendance for Friday’s games.

“It was a special night,” said Tom Annett, who coaches the Colts current senior team.

“Those guys told me they were so excited and proud to be here,” Annett added. “It was just phenomenal. The turnout from the fans was outstanding and we couldn’t be happier. It was a great night for Korah football and the whole Korah family.”
