Students play Gaga ball, where players try to eliminate opponents by hitting them with a ball below the knees. “I’ve been playing Gaga ball for years now, as a boy scout,” junior Parker Wales said. “Although I think my lack of skill seen today comes from the mass amount of people in the pit. I’m typically used to bouncing the balls off the walls and on to people to get them out. The school should invest in an in-ground wooden gaga pit, then I’ll play better.”
