Charger Opinion

Pep It Up

Kristie Powell, Charger Staff

War can bring a country together, and war is what this school went through during Spirit Week.
As corny as this may sound, we lost to Blackman, but we really won.

We won because on that day, we came together as a school. We cheered together, froze together, trashed the sophomores together, and lost together.

For instance during the pep rally, the junior class sat down together and we all shared, not our unspiritedness, but our similarities.

We all turned to glare at the sophomore class when hearing the defeat of the seniors.

My homeroom class even won the cheer contest. You should have seen us strategizing and perfecting our cheer.

Sure, no one could hear us during the pep rally and we didn’t get any donuts (something the administration should seriously consider), but we now have something we can share.

I am sad to say my first football game was also my last. Even I, one of the most unschool-spirited people ever, battled the terrible weather and cheered on our football team.

As for the team, you guys set a precedence that will remain. Your play set the mark on how all other teams will be judged.

Now our newly united school has the duty to cheer on any school-sponsored event, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the many new teams to come.
