2Legit2Quit Throws Itself to Victory

3/1/2015

 
On February 4th, 2015, the New Haven High Student Council held a dodgeball tournament between teams of students and teachers. The teams of students had to be in the same grade and had to include either two girls and three guys or three girls and two guys. The teams also had to come up with a team name, and teams  were  encouraged to wear a costume that fit with their team name. Then, teams would face off in a double-elimination tournament.
The team that won this year was 2Legit2Quit and featured members Andrew Menke, Ereka Bailey, Erin Scheer, John Wintjen, and Alex Majors--all juniors. Originally, Jared Horstmann was part of the team instead of Alex Majors, but he went home sick the day of the tournament, and Alex had to be subbed in at the last minute. The team wore shirts that simply stated “2Legit2Quit” on both the front and the back. Andrew Menke, member of 2Legit2Quit, commented on the dodgeball tournament: “Yeah, I enjoy just chucking balls at people. . .. Nothing much to it.” Other teams in the tournament included Grandma’s Cookies, The Dirty Dodgers, The Dodge Fathers, USA, and Team Blackout.

Along with the students, there were also two teacher teams, Old But Not Yet Dead and New Kids on the Block. Old But Not Yet Dead featured teachers Mrs. Schwab, Mr. Hagedorn,  Mrs. Oelrichs, Mrs. Strickland, and Mr. Viehland. New Kids on the Block  featured Mr. A. Peirick, Mr. Gortney, Mr. Pruessner, Ms. Allen, and Mrs. Miller. While Old But Not Yet Dead got out early, New Kids on the Block placed 4th in the tournament.

For those that weren’t interested in dodgeball, there was also trivia to do. Each class got a packet, and the one that got the most questions right earned spirit points. The Sophomores answered the most questions right. Sophomore Anna Miller had this to say about the trivia: “Yeah, dodgeball isn’t really my thing, but I excel at the trivia, so that’s what I look forward to during dodgeball tournaments.” Some of the questions involved categories such as 2014 events, events in New Haven history, slogans, and even questions about the teachers. Some of the teacher questions included “This teacher grew up on cattle ranch, and their middle name is Fern,” “This teacher majored in Foreign Language and hates mashed potatoes,” and “This SMS graduate loves eating bratwurst with sauerkraut, cheering on the Memphis Grizzlies, watching Super Troopers, and listening to Country Grammar by Nelly.”

Every team member had to pay two dollars to participate in the tournament. STUCO raised 200 dollars that went to the Special Olympics in Missouri.

All in all, students enjoyed themselves during the dodgeball tournament. “It’s one of my favorite things about high school,” says Alex Majors. “It’s something that I love to do.”
