Lobna Fakih, #70: Country Day is a 'Dedicated Team'
Fakih's son, Ali, is a senior offensive/defensive lineman on the Country Day varsity football team.
Detroit Country Day School students and alumni love the school, and the football parents love and support their Yellowjackets. While the team played on the field, Patch went into the stands to tell the stories of the parents who help make everything possible.

How does Country Day see themselves? "They're the underdogs. They know that. My son is not a starter. He thrives on that. Since the first game, they've been proving their doubters wrong. This is a dedicated team that plays within itself and really knows what it means to be a team."
