Reagan Jetter wasn't in uniform for a recent early-season home game for her team, La Jolla's field hockey squad.
But the energetic senior still fulfilled her role as the talkative encourager who provided the key word and led the group chant at the end of each huddle during the game.
"I try to talk with my teammates and keep up their spirits," said the captain, one of three for Coach Amanda Combs Warford's team, along with Morgan Hansen and junior Serene Liu, earlier.
Jetter, whose brother and mother used to take volumes of photos of Viking athletic teams, was in her Clark Kent disguise, with dark-frame glasses masking part of her expressive face.
One thing people may not know about the 5'7" senior is that she used to live in New Jersey, before her family moved to the West Coast. They kept goats at their residence.
At the White-out Blast Off event two weeks ago, the football team's second home game, Jetter was visible in--what else?--white, egging on her classmates and others in the stands from the track as the on-the-field DJ played raucous music that raised the energy level even higher.
Then, in an orchestrated move, Jetter and a thousand of her friends from the student body flooded the field at halftime to cheer and mark Blast Off one more year.
Blast Off has been a tradition for decades; the flash mob not so long.
