Much of the pomp and memories of the game experience come from those sitting around us, the band, the cheerleaders and mascots. Hopefully, we've preserved some of those memories for you this past season with our Around the Game series of photo galleries. Here's the last edition for the 2017 season and Team 121. See you next year.
