This year's homecoming games had surprising outcome, with the seniors coming in second to the juniors. Here’s what some students of different grade levels around the school had to say about homecoming week and the games themselves:
How did you feel going into homecoming? Senior: I felt really good! I had heard that a lot of the people in our grade had practiced and that there were tryouts to make sure that everyone was good enough. I was also really excited about the homecoming dance coming back, even though it turned out bad in the end. I felt like out grade was good and that we would win the competitions that took place on Friday. Junior: I felt good, I know that it was rigged anyway, so the same outcome would end up happening each year. Sophomore: I felt fine. I wasn’t nervous or anything so I expected the same outcome as with what usually happens. What was your reaction to the dance coming back? Senior: I was overjoyed! I felt like we could make a better dance happen and that it would be lots of fun for each grade. I think it is cool that our grade got it back for everyone to enjoy. Junior: I was honestly really surprised that they were able to pull it off, seeing that the last one was not that good. and a lot of people got in trouble as well. Sophomore: The dance itself could have been better but it wasn’t awful for my first homecoming dance in high school. Do you feel like homecoming is rigged? Senior: I think a lot of people think it is. I always believed it was until this year. I feel like they announce all of the grades in order from least to first, starting in last with the freshman. But when they announced seniors as second place, I was crushed and so was everyone else. Junior: I feel like homecoming is rigged because every year the seniors seem to win somehow, even if there isn't full participation in the grade throughout the whole week. I still feel like even though us juniors won, that still may have been rigged in some way. Sophomore: Maybe not this year, but for the most part the seniors seem to win. It seems that there are some ways that seniors can rig the events themselves but this year that was not the case. Do you feel like many of the teachers miscount for participation? Senior: I think a lot of teachers do, which is unfortunate. I know in a lot of my classes the teachers were not good at remembering to do it, or would count kids twice because they didn't know what they were doing. Some of them even counted kids that came in late. Junior: I think so, in a lot of my classes the teachers seem to do it by themselves and not mention it, so I am hoping that they are doing it accurate. Sophomore: I think so because a lot of teachers seem to not count exactly. Senior Question: Are you upset about the outcome? I mean yes, it's our senior year and not winning the competitions kind of ruined it for me. Also the juniors kind of rubbed it in our faces which was unnecessary. Junior Question: Are you surprised about the outcome? I never thought that we would actually win that. It has been rigged for years, with the seniors winning every time, so it was really cool that we won and hopefully will next year. Sophomore Question: How did you feel about the outcome of the homecoming games? I wasn’t mad at the results or anything about the results with my grade losing. I’m kind of indifferent to the results of the homecoming games but it was interesting to see a different outcome than expected. Freshman Question: How was your first hoco experience? I think it was so fun! A lot more crazy and exciting than I thought it was going to be. I went into it thinking it was just a dance and a spirit week, but it was a lot more than that!
