Classes aren’t the only thing back at Victor High School, fall sports are now well underway as student-athletes battle their way into the season. 

Ask any of the athletes, and they’ll be the first to tell you, sports are nothing without the fans, and there is no better support than their own classmates roaring in the bleachers. 

Leading the school’s student section, the “Devil’s Den”, are five seniors whose school spirit motivates them to be loud, proud, and positive at every athletic event.
