Not only did the football boys play, but some of the players from the girls’ soccer team also competed., such as Emily Sarver, Claudia Allen, Julia Hart, Mckenna Rawson, Ellie Reiser, and Emily Raine.

Students were not the only ones playing this year; the teachers did as well. Some of these teachers included Mr. Anderson, Mr. Miller, Mr. Kovak, Dr. Angelucci, Mrs. Mooney, Mrs. Martin, Miss Ireland, Mrs. Cole, and many more.

The student and teachers played against every team, which was set up in a tournament style. According to junior Malia Kennedy, things started to get very competitive because every team wanted to win. She stated that the event was “Crazy competitive and crazy fun!”

When asked about her team, junior Emily Sarver said, “Even though we were all soccer ladies, we were in it to win it and did not let anyone come in our way – especially those intimidating teachers we had to face.”

Students also loved being able to spend time with their friends before break. Senior Seth Slater said, “It’s always good to go out and play the sport I love with my amazing friends.”
