Students defeat faculty in Spirit Week basketball game (21 photos)

In efforts to promote student involvement, the Student Council held a student vs. faculty basketball game on Nov. 20. The teams were mixtures of both experienced and newer players.
“[The game] was a really fun event,” junior Ciara Murphy said. “It was my first time playing, and the players were really nice.”
During halftime, Student Council offered a Chick-Fil-A gift card to the first person who could make a halfcourt shot, which was won by junior Abi MacDonald.
“It was so exciting,” MacDonald said. “Everyone was cheering, and I felt really hyped [up].”
The roster included students from every grade and teachers from nearly every department.
