Amid homecoming spirit days this week is the annual pink out dress-up day that coincides with the pink out volleyball games tonight; varsity plays at 6:30.

Many sports teams and various organizations schedule events in October to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The football teams wear pink socks and gloves to show their support, StuCo students display posters around the school to show how much they care, and the volleyball teams have an entire night dedicated to breast cancer awareness.

Students, faculty and staff flood the school wearing pink to show their spirit not only for the volleyball players, but for the those who have fought or are fighting breast cancer.

“Everyone in the district does it eventually,” sophomore varsity player Christina Cowsert said. “I’m not sure how it started but I know every team, or every sport, does their own little event to show their support.”

The girls prepare for the game by yelling chants with each other as teams or by dancing in the middle of the court. They try to bring up the energy of their teammates so they’re ready to play.

T-shirts, soda floats and different accessories are sold at the game to contribute to Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“As [long] as LHS volleyball has actually been a program at our school, pink out has been a thing in October,” sophomore JV player Morgan Johnson said.

The teams wear pink hair bows, pink shoelaces and pink socks to show their support.

“We put posters around the gym that represent breast cancer,” junior varsity player Ryleigh Taylor said.

While some players believe the important games of the season are against rival schools like Marcus or Flower Mound, all of the players equally care about the pink out game because they love to show their support.

“I worked really hard and I practiced every day; all I did was set repeatedly,” Taylor said.

Middle school volleyball players in the district come out as well to see their Farmer volleyball players. These future Farmers love to show how much they care for their soon-to-be school.

“Every week we go out to their middle schools and help them out with volleyball and stuff, so it’s fun seeing them out in game all together,” Taylor said.
