The annual senior vs junior girls football game and the senior vs junior boys volleyball game is arguably the one of the best parts of hoco if not the best. Saldy it has not been the same since 2020, when the entire event was canceled.

Many people feel that it has not been the same. Now a new problem has occurred. Was the game rigged for the seniors ?

Everyone knows the saying, “ Seniors always win” right ? But is that because it’s rigged? At the Powder Puff game the competition got heated. The junior side accused the seniors of cheating. There were allegations that the score was wrong and that in reality the juniors should have won.  Dakota Sahagun, a junior who participated in powder puff had this to say about the situation, “The game was very rigged. They made random calls for no reason. The juniors should have definitely won.” Lydia Fraser, a ref and a player on the senior side, said this about the allegations, “I think I would have to say the the juniors don’t know how to handle such a large L and have to make themselves feel better by saying we cheated.” Lydia also added, “The teachers wouldn’t even let us rig it.” Those are the thoughts from a Junior and a Senior, so now let’s hear the thoughts from underclassmen who didn’t participate in the game.
