The people in the bleachers also took this game very seriously. It was loud in the gym as you could hear the roars of the audience cheering for their team to win. A common occurrence was them banging their shoes on the floor loudly. The players in the bleachers would occasionally shout suggestions like “Lay up!” or “Pass!” They would also loudly cheer for the players on the student team. Before the start of the game, Coach Kobs, one of the players for the teacher’s team, stated that “It was going to be nice to destroy the children!” Most of the points on the teachers team were from Coach Wolfe, who was probably the most experienced player there. Both teams did very well, but in the end the teachers had the upper hand and won with a final score of 45-22. Now that the winner has been decided, the question now is, who will win next year?
