Fall sports teams were fired up in preparation for the Pep Rally. The players waited anxiously as Mr. Meserve announced each team. Once everyone was seated the games began. First off was the sack race. Players tripped and fell all over the place. The first event was followed by five others: Hopkinton Road Race on a tricycle, trivia, three-legged race, Apple Juice drinking competition, and Simon Says with Mr. Chase.
The three-legged race was a heated event. Tess Ferguson and Kaley Cook represented the Varsity Girls Soccer Team. “We didn’t practice much,” said
Soon after, the well-known trivia competition was held. Miranda Murphy helped out the Varsity Field Hockey Team in this event. “It was a lot of fun. Trivia isn’t like the other events that you can prep for, you just have to rely on your knowledge and your team to help you out,” Murphy said, “I picked trivia because it’s a laid back event and you don’t have to worry about something embarrassing happening to you.” Despite her hard work, the Soccer Teams took the win.
Mr. Chase completed the Pep Rally with his legendary game of Simon Says. Players fled back to their seats fairly quickly but Hallie Loft stuck it out and earned the High School Cross Country Team their only win. As this event ended the scores were tallied and the Varsity Boys Soccer Team took the victory.
