When Camdenton High School’s football team rolls up to an opponent’s stadium, it gets noticed straight away.
That’s because the Lakers travel in a customized purple bus plastered with pictures of players and coaches. The interior floor is green carpet, like turf. It’s a traveling illustration of how proud Camdenton is of a football program inducted into the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame this week.
Opposing fans often ask, “How on earth can a public school district afford a customized bus just for football?”
It can’t. The bus is privately owned by a Laker fans who donates its use to the school district for football games and occasionally other sporting events.
