Worthing High School football team. The event marked a historic proclamation of Thursday, November 19, 2024, as Worthing High School Day—a fitting tribute to the unstoppable Colts, who clinched the prestigious 4A-1 Region III District II Championship and continue their journey toward playoff glory.
