Danny Sutton, long-time Oak Ridge educator/coach/business owner introduced Xenith helmets to parents present at the regularly scheduled Booster Club meeting. Xenith supports the One Player/One Helmet philosophy, wherein a player has the option to utilize the same helmet from high school thru college, and perhaps beyond.
Coach Sutton is having a Xenith helmet painted using the Oak Ridge paint scheme, and plans to return to a later Booster Club meeting to share it with parents and interested community members.
Many parents are considering purchasing a helmet for their player. Xenith helmets can be purchased through Athletic House in Knoxville. Bulk discounts are available, if we meet a certain threshhold. Lead time is currently 4-5 weeks. If you are interested, please contact your Class Representative with your intentions.
Since many new helmets were purchased last year, the current budget does not include funds for the purchase of any this year. However, Coach Blade allowed Sutton to present the helmet offered by Xenith to parents and/or community members to purchase for their player or as a donation.
