The Camdenton High School dress code mandates that “hair must be combed, clean and well groomed.” The student handbook bans mohawk haircuts, but does not express a ban on mullets. I think I’m actually going to do it,” Sullens laughed. I noticed (Cayden) Shockley, (Spencer) Carlock, and (Brice) Babbs got it last night. “We’ve been talking about it the last couple of days.
Three other members of the Camdenton offense showed up to practice with Camaro cuts and applied some peer pressure to their fellow senior. On the Wednesday before the quarterfinal against Kirkwood, senior linebacker/punter Chris Sullens was one of the few upperclassmen in the locker room wearing a “normal” haircut. “After a couple of people did it we all just kind of fell on the roll and brought back the mullet,” senior strong safety Justin Daughtrey said.ĭaughtrey took his mullet a step further by shaving several lines into the side of his head, somewhat disproving the mullet tradition of “business in the front.” Nicknamed “the Mongoose,” Daughtrey is fourth on the team in solo tackles with 35. More Lakers are taking clippers to the sides and fronts of their heads each week, especially the seniors.
Their only loss was a 28-27 barn burner against Waynesville. The modern mullets of 2010 sport a record of 4-1 since homecoming. The Lakers won state titles in 19, appeared in the state semifinals in 19, and made the state quarterfinals in 1982, 1983, and 1984.Ĭamdenton also won 10 straight district titles from 1980-89. The 1980s were the winningest decade of Camdenton football history. Schmidt’s logic proves difficult to argue. “We decided that back in the 80s when (Camdenton) kept winning state that they all had mullets, so hopefully it would work out for us,” Schmidt said. Senior offensive tackle/defensive tackle Eli Schmidt was one of the first Lakers to go for the mullet on the week on the homecoming showdown with Joplin. The Oxford English Dictionary (the definite record of the English language) defines the mullet as, “A hairstyle, worn especially by men, in which the hair is cut short at the front and sides, and left long at the back.” The style, also referred to as the 10/90, Kentucky waterfall, or the hockey helmet, is a multi-functional haircut suitable for “business in the front,” or a “party in the back.” Prior to an early October game against Joplin, a few Camdenton players got mullet haircuts. With any road to success comes sacrifice, hard work and compromise - a “Missouri Compromise.” As they continue their football playoff quest, the Camdenton Lakers of 2010 hope to draw inspiration from great Camdenton teams of the past.
