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.”

What’s up! I’m Drew, and I am the sports editor and multimedia producer for our program. I just want to get a few things straight: my takes are always better than Grim’s, and the Jags are going to the Super Bowl. Say hi if you see me around, and I’m always up for some sports banter. Cheers.

Juniors Jayden Collins and Michael Carroll play Bananagrams at Board Game Club during Power Hour in journalism teacher Linda Foster’s classroom on April 21. “Board Game Club (BGC) is always something great to look forward to on Mondays and Wednesdays,” Carroll said. “We would like to have a selection of games to play but every meeting it just ends up being Bananagrams. Even after failing a test, It’s a great feeling to glance at your buddies and ask ‘BGC?’”
