After each grade was given a chance to battle it out on the field, the winning team, the seniors, had the pleasure of taking
on a group of LHS faculty and staff.
“I’m glad the teachers get to exhibit good sportsmanship for the students,” Amy Wright, school guidance counselor, said.
The close relationships formed over the years between the graduating class and the teachers were apparent through the good-natured ribbing and competitiveness shown by both teams. In the end, class of 2014 took the well-deserved title of champions.
“Our senior class is being pulled together with school spirit in a way never before,” said Lexi Whaley, senior.
After their win, the graduating class took a victory lap, exhibiting great pride to be a part of the homecoming festivities.
