On September 10th in Boone, North Carolina and the Appalachian State football team has just wrapped up their first victory of the 2016 season in their home opener against Old Dominion. The 31-7 win in the white-out game proved to be a fresh start for the team as the color white often represents.
Donning white jerseys, pants, socks, cleats, helmets and even white gloves, the full white uniform seemed fitting for a team to purify their season after a tough week one loss to the University of Tennessee. But the win and the game itself two months ago meant much more than just a fresh start to the season for transfer senior Dezmin Reed.
