Seniors celebrate as a senior Daniel Loaney scores a basket. This was the first year since 2011 that the seniors won the senior faculty game with the ending score being 27-23. “It was a great win for the seniors. Very hard fought battle, but coming out on top was a victory for the class of 2018 for sure,” Loaney said.

Senior Sydney Bystrom attempts to block math teacher Christy Moellering from passing the ball. This was Moellering’s third year playing in the game. “It was fun this year because I knew so many seniors including Sydney since I have her as a student,” Moellering said. “[My favorite memory was] when the seniors won because they were so excited to have finally won.”

Senior Daniel Loaney dresses up as transfer student “Daniella” and joins the girls’ game. “I thought I would try to take the game into my own hands, but I airballed probably four times,” Loaney said. “It was going really well until the referee took off my wig, and ejected me from the game. I felt defeated, but it was my favorite memory of the game. Also, it was fun to make a steal and finally score a point.”

Senior Sophie Vietor attempts to block Senior Principal Kate Piffel from passing to her teammate. “I wanted to play since I have always watched the game since I was an underclassmen. Also, all my friends played, so I joined even though I suck at basketball,” Vietor said. “I missed shooting a basket, so when I had the ball again, I made sure to pass it to someone and they were able to score.”

Principal Jeremy Mitchell guards senior Jack Swiney from getting the ball. Over one thousand dollars in proceeds from the game was raised for Friends of Kids with Cancer. “This year, I made one basket which was more than last year,” Mitchell said. “I enjoy playing basketball and helping to raise money for a good cause. It was nice to look up [to the crowd] and seeing all the students in attendance.”
