Who is better, Juniors or Seniors? This debate has been raging ever since the ideas of Juniors and Seniors excited. The big question is, how do they settle this debate? Schools realized this dilemma and set up a simple solution. Competing in Americas’ favorite sport, Flag Football. This game, however, has a twist.The only ones who are allowed to compete are the female students.
The male students are instead the coaches for both of the teams. The coaches consisted of Gabriel Cunningham (‘25) Gremaine Giles (‘25) Anthoney Pruitt (‘25) and Inioluwa Akano (‘25)
for the Juniors and Chase Laster (‘24) Quinn Brown (‘24) Kyle Edgar (‘24) and Nathaniel Davis (‘24) for the Seniors.
The way they played the game is very similar to how a regular game is played but it has some core differences.
The game consisted of two, 20-minute quarters. Each quarter they would trade sides, just like any other football game. The main difference is that the clock never stops.

Also, rather than snapping the ball they would simply throw the ball laterally to the quarterback. The quarterbacks consisted of Abigail Alivernia (‘25) for the Juniors and Ava Lewis (‘24) for the first half and Ava Chase (‘24) for the second half for the Seniors.
Each team had specific plays that the coaches came up with. Those plays each had their own special code names so that the other team couldn’t know what was coming.
The Juniors Coach (Coach’s name) had a very interesting name for one of his plays. “My favorite play’s gotta be four, and it was just four verticals,” Giles said.
The Seniors coach also had a very interesting name for their plays. “Our best defensive play was the flamingo. Erris Mclain (‘24) would blitz, and the rest of the defense would stand like a flamingo” Laster said.
In the end, the Seniors were able to win this game (28-14). At the end of the day, this is a friendly competition for fun.
