Yes, they got carried away. And why not? There was and is always something to get carried away over at RFH.

This time it’s all about those RFH Bulldogs and cheer for a winning football season! With a now 12-0 record and a final semi-finals win against Point Friday night, the Dawgs are headed to the state finals in December.  

And no one lifts the Dawgs on the field more than the cheer squad — however it turns up — and away with kooky enthusiasm.

Cheers to sunny fall days and classic looks back! The sun is still out and, despite the fall sting in the air, it’s something to cheer about.

The 1977 RFH Powder Puff Football game was a good one that made for some great photo ops.

What would a string of cheerleading for the team pics be without a cap-off of some special cheerleaders leaving the scene of the cheer?

So, the Retro Pic of the (George) Day is a vision — of those crazy 1970s dudes and their “different” idea of cheering for the team and, well, those outfits.

So, here’s to that big cheer for RFH football, champions and, yes, those cheerleaders of the past.

Now, does anyone know who these guys are and whose skirts they’re sporting here?

Many thanks to the one and only George Day for capturing this gem of a look into the RFH past!
