Brandon’s favorite GFC memory, among many, was when the football team beat Bismarck High in the semifinals of football in 2005. The game was in Bismarck and it was close throughout. The defense blocked an extra point in overtime to win. The team stormed the field and GFC was headed to the state championship game. Brandon said, "Ringing the bell back at the locker room was never more sweet. The bond and camaraderie I shared with the members of that team will last a lifetime." Brandon believes that school pride and the respect that GFC students, parents, and faculty show is second to none and what sets it apart. “People treated everyone with respect and showed compassion for their fellow classmates. With all of the history and tradition, it was an honor to walk into that beautiful school each day and wear the maroon and gray. As the school song states “It’s the Finest in Dakota”….
