The Marlboro County Board of Education honored the MCHS football team at the start of their regular monthly meeting Monday night.
Superintendent of Schools Frank Roberson started by praising the players and coaches, whom he said "cause us to walk around the state with our heads up and our chests out."
Coach Dean Boyd then thanked the administration, faculty and school board for their support of the team.
"It takes more than great players, which we have, and it takes more than great coaches, which we have," he said. "It takes the whole community to have a great team."
MCHS Principal Kenneth Bowen thanked the coaches and especially the young men, whom he said displayed great character not just on the field, but in the classroom as well.
"I'm very proud of these guys," he said.
Roberson then presented Boyd with a plaque and members of the team were called up to shake hands with everyone on the school board.

SUBJECT: DHEC Letter for Parents (swine flu)
The South Carolina Department of Education is working closely with the Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) to help keep our schools a healthy place to learn and to work.
Over the next few days we will be sending guidance to assist with controlling the spread of flu (including H1N1 swine flu) with the goal of minimizing the impact on education. All of us want to keep staff and students well and our schools open.
