Senior Day is always a conflict of emotion. It's filled with pride in one hand because it's the culmination of a career. It's the capstone after years spent at practice and in the gym. It's the last time a player puts on pads, pulls on a jersey and straps on a helmet in the home locker room. It's an opportunity to honor the sacrifices of parents to drive to those practices and those games, no matter where they were.
The other hand is filled with a melancholy sadness, though, because it's the culmination of a career. Time spent in the locker room is invaluable, and those memories with teammates create and foster relationships nobody outside the room understands.
