As the Fairmont Senior football team gets set to open the 2017 season against Robert C. Byrd, the Polar Bears hosted an enthusiastic pep rally complete with a dancing polar bear.
The focus of the pep rally was to excite the students and fanbase of one of the most talented prep football programs in the state of West Virginia. It also served as the announcement hub of Dante Stills’ verbal commitment.
Shortly after 2 p.m., Dante Stills joined coach Nick Bartic on the auditorium stage. Thousands eagerly awaited Still’s announcement. Hundreds were in the school and thousands more watched a live stream on various social media sites.
