The following story was written by a student on the staff of The Jaguar Times as part of Hilliard Bradley High School’s Journalism Production course.
Seniors this year were faced with a tough task involving the annual senior tag water gun fight. Each round lasted two days making rounds tighter and more stress inducing. Kenyon, Jordan Yaser, Ian, Devin's team won the whole thing, but it wasn’t given in the semi final round they were tied and it came down to Rock Paper Scissors which Kenyon ended up winning ultimately advancing to the final round. Teams had to get some video evidence of them eliminating opposing players to help the judges decide if they really got the other person out. Despite all this it didn’t fail to make the seniors happy and give them something to do.
The Jag Times had the chance to talk to some participants about this year's senior tag. “I had a great time this year, it was really sad we went out like that but what can you do. All the guys had a great time and it was an awesome experience.” ( Newcomb 12) “It was an amazing experience we won and had to face adversity and challenges every round but we got the job done. Our team was really excited to win and brag about it to all our peers” (Jordan 12). “I really wish we were in a normal year because the rounds would be longer and action could happen when you least expect it but overall I had an amazing time and can’t wait to see who wins next year (Poff 12). “I’m glad I got a team together to play. I was on edge about it but I’m glad I participated because it was very fun while it lasted” (Hubler 12). We got to interview our very own Jordan Thompson and we asked him about the big win. “I really love that we won due to bragging rights and that we can all make fun of our close friends that lost and rub it in. The prize money really wasn’t that great but it was still a fun and great experience” (Thompson 12).
All these guys had a great experience and they hyped up Senior Tag and we can’t wait to see what next year brings with all the excitement and adrenaline along with it. It’s one of the best senior year events here at Bradley and next year's seniors are all excited to participate and compete for the title of the best team next year.
Congrats again to Kenyon, Jordan, Yaser, Ian, and Devin's team for claiming this year's win and good luck to all the seniors who choose to compete next year. It was an exciting few weeks full of excitement and energy. This year hasn’t been the best due to COVID but we all found some light in this activity even if we weren’t involved directly. A lot of seniors had and suggested doing it, but some don’t. It’s all based on your opinion on Senior Tag.
