“So if they want to call you crazy, fine. Show them what crazy can do.”- Serena Williams
“Being an athlete for GFHS is such an honor. The community helps to bring this positive atmosphere that every athlete loves and feels. Being a part of GFHS athletics is more than sports, it’s the family aspect that each team brings. I chose this quote because it has sat with me no matter what it is, you can do what you want. You shouldn’t let others influence you in a negative way. Trying new things is always good and if they try to put you down and call you “crazy”, go out on that court or field and “show them what crazy can do.”- Ella Crossman – Class of 2021.
