Every year at Woodbridge High School, a battle of the four classes occurs: Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior. The classes join together and fight to see who will prevail as the most spirited.
As usual, before the competitions began, the homecoming court walked out. Decked in class colors, they proudly displayed their banners, proclaiming their classes in order from freshman to senior. The masses happily portrayed the class spirit in white, green, gold, and black.
Beginning the games, the senior class of ‘25 narrowly won tug of war against the Juniors. With the aid of security officers on their side, many believed it was no wonder the Seniors could secure a victory. The security officers had a one-up of strength that many students, especially the Juniors, did not have. “Their old people muscles were able to work well with those of security to gain a… victory over the Juniors,” an incoming freshman proclaimed when asked about this incident.
After tug of war followed red light green light, in which the Juniors, dressed in sparkly tutus of gold, represented the class of ’26 to the finish line and won. The victory was not without controversy, though. Anonymously, many believed that the Senior referees kept “sending the Juniors back to the start to stop them from winning.”
After the class of ‘26’s red light green light win, followed the relay races, which the Freshman class of ’28 won, much to the student body’s surprise. Many Juniors, such as Marwa L, portrayed how stunned they were in the moment, “Are they really going to let the Freshmen win?” The Juniors did not feel that the Freshmen could win anything pep rally based, as it was their first pep rally, and they were not as practiced or experienced with it.
The last event was Pep Squad. With each class giving it their all, the competition this year was tight, but the Seniors worked harder than everyone else, and it showed. Their dances were in sync and in tune, and even though most were leaving just when they were getting their groove on due to time, it was clear that they were the winners.
At the end of the day, the Senior class of ’25 settled many debates among students and staff by winning the pep rally. With hard work, sheer determination, and grit, it is no surprise that they won. Now that this year’s homecoming season has ended, the spotlight turns: Who will win the next pep rally?
