Orangeburg icon and former SCSU Bulldogs legendary head football coach Willie Jeffries served as event Master of Ceremonies.
The city of Orangeburg was truly “Garnet and Blue Country” Tuesday evening. A sizable crowd packed the Russell Street Square Tuesday to show their support for the 2008 South Carolina State football team. From young and old, alumni to non-S.C. State graduates and public and SCISAA Orangeburg County high school students, nearly every demographic was well-represented at the hour-long pep rally.
For S.C. State punter and Orangeburg native Aaron Haire, the spirit of unity was both encouraging and long overdue. “It’s one thing I’ve been hoping,” Haire said. “One thing that really determines a team success is having a community behind us and providing strong support. I was used to that growing up in Orangeburg and playing football for the Orangeburg-Wilkinson Bruins. So I’m happy that they’re starting to come out for the Bulldogs of South Carolina State.”
