Defense dominates Daniel spring game
CENTRAL — With his team returning the bulk of a defense that recorded shutouts in more than half of its games a season ago, it seems a bit of a surprise that Daniel head coach Randy Robinson has a less-than-firm grasp on his defensive depth chart exiting spring practice.
After the defenses combined for five interceptions and held the offenses to just a single field goal in a 3-0 White victory over the Blue team in the Lions’ annual spring game Friday night at Singleton Field, Robinson said it was not solely the effort of his team’s returning playmakers that did the job.
Memorial Day: Why do we celebrate?
“The 30th day of May, 1868, is designated for the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country during the late rebellion, and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village, and hamlet church-yard in the land. In this observance no form of ceremony is prescribed, but posts and comrades will in their own way arrange such fitting services and testimonials of respect as circumstances may permit. We are organized, comrades, as our regulations tell us, for the purpose among other things, ‘of preserving and strengthening those kind and fraternal feelings which have bound together the soldiers, sailors, and marines who united to suppress the late rebellion.’ What can aid more to assure this result than cherishing tenderly the memory of our heroic dead, who made their breasts a barricade between our country and its foes?”
General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, officially established Memorial Day through proclamation of General Ordinance 11, on May 5, 1868. Originally called Decoration Day, the first observed Memorial Day was on May 30, 1868, and to commemorate this day, flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
