BOGALUSA, La. – A student of Bogalusa High School was singing the national anthem at the Jacks vs. Warriors football game until the microphone began to cut out. That’s when fans took over and finished the song. Together they sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” while the young woman originally singing kept going while staff worked to get the microphone working.
