Senior Night Always a Special Occasion For Ridge Athletes
Each sport has its own traditions but all honor student and athlete, along with parents.
Senior night, a time-honored tradition at Ridge High School, rolled around last week for the boys basketball and wrestling teams prior. Team members who are graduating seniors, and their parents, were singled out for honor.
Senior night is a tradition in many high schools and colleges around the country. The purpose of the event is to recognize the commitments of the student and their parents involved in athletic programs.

But senior night has some constant traditions as well. The student and a parent or parents are introduced to those in attendance. Moms are presented with flowers, and some attendees are presented with plaques.
