Taylor County Vikings Pride
I'm sure the Taylor County High School Cheerleaders stood at attention for Mrs. Jeri Harris just as quickly as the girl's basketball team did for Coach Carter. Mrs. Harris was a tiny little thing, but you knew you better do exactly as she said on the court as well as in her French and English classes. Mrs. Harris encouraged us to do our best and to exhibit lots of spirit and pride -- Taylor County Vikings Pride!
I have fond memories of being on the 8th grade basketball team and playing with Sissy, Maxine, Linda, Dianne, and all the rest. I also had sense enough to realize that I was no where close to being in their league, so I became a cheerleader. Our squad had a lot of fun cheering for Coach Carter and his winning basketball team. We also knew we had to be very serious. I can still remember the cheer, You can sock it to the East, You can sock it to the West, but when you sock it to the Vikings, you sock it to the Best! It is such a privilege to be a part of a group that is going to honor one of the "Best" coaches and the "Best" players in the state of Georgia. I knew Coach Carter as a teacher, principal, superintendent, but most important of all as a coach. Mrs. Carter was my 4th grade teacher. Mr. and Mrs. Carter have touched many lives and continue to do so. Thanks for the memories!
