On Friday, Feb. 28, New Hope-Solebury High School hosted their Spirit Week games to end a competitive week between the Blue and Gold Teams. The games began with the girls’ obstacle course first followed by the boys’ obstacle course. The Gold Team won both games to gain traction for their team. The Gold Team continued their momentum by winning the next couple games, including the 1 vs 1 tug of war and the Magic Carpet games.
With all this energy on the gold team it looked like they were going to sweep all the games, until an Izzy Dizzy relay race in which a Blue Team member failed to spin the correct number of times and continued to race. This caused a major uproar on the Gold Team and it was their first loss. After this loss the games started going to the “Blue” Team. Mike Borys hit the half court shot for the Blue Team which gathered a lot of momentum for them. After that they continued to rack up the points by winning more games.
By the end of the games, what was thought to be a sweepin win by the gold team, looked to be an even battle by the end with blue and gold almost even in the amount of games won. Many Gold Team members were stunned that they lost their lead and momentum coming into the games. However, Blue Team members were excited that they were able to make a comeback in the second half of the games. After the final announcement of points gathered by hallways, cans, and coins, the Blue Team won spirit week for the 2020 year.
