The Fairview Yellow Jackets are coming off 2 straight undefeated seasons and State Championship victories and they will be going for their 3rd straight in the 2024 season. Fairview Head Football Coach Robert Bernard spoke with CTB Sports about their upcoming season. Coach Bernard spoke about how critical a successful summer pride program is to success. “I would put that up there maybe towards the top”.
The Yellow Jackets had a great summer pride with high attendance throughout the summer. Fairview will also have to compete in a tough district that has Crescent a team that gave Fairview their toughest test of the post season last year. Cashion, a perennial power looking to bounce back from a rough couple of seasons, and Hooker who Fairview faced in the State Championship game last season.
Fairview will be tested in non-district play as well with their opener being against their rivals the Alva Goldbugs who bring back a lot of talent from a team that made a surprising post season run last year. They will also play Tonkawa, usually one of the tougher teams in Class A.
Leading this year’s team once again is Quarterback Jax Bernard who is poised for an incredible senior year after leading the Yellow Jackets to 2 straight State Championships with stellar play in his Sophomore and Junior seasons.
