A little TLC

High School rivals, you gotta love it, every student dressed in their school colors, and acting as crazy and loud as can be, and doing the most obnoxious things you could imagine!! I went to my little brothers basketball game “the civil war” it was against their rival school the Hillcrest Knights, (every game against eachother is called the civil war) anyway, for as long as I can remember Hillcrest has always done the stupidest things to get into trouble, I remember one time while I was in high school, they threw out rolls of toilet paper onto the court when we scored our first basket, last year they captured a duck from the river and let it loose during the game,  but nobody knew who actually did it so there were no charges or fines against anyone, every year during Bonneville’s spirit week over the weekend, the knights will come paint all over Bonneville’s huge spirit rock in front of the school, and at Friday nights game I guess the “plan” (my brother heard this from friends over at Hillcrest) was to let a pig loose during the game, well I guess at the pep assembly the students were told if anything was done then the team would have to forfeit the game. So their minds kept busy for another idea… which was putting newspapers in front of their faces as Bonneville’s team was being announced, totally ignoring them. which is better than anything else I guess.  So the game was played, and Bonneville, of course won, with my  brother shooting  a sweet 3 pointer. Although Hillcrest isn’t the only school that has done something awful, I remember Skyline High School took cats and hung them by their tails  from the goal post at Idaho Falls High School before their big game (they are the other local High School rivals).   I just can’t believe how people can be so cruel to animals just to get attention! and how can they not get caught at these things! some people are so immature! but I do want to add, at the end of the game there was some decent Hillcrest band members 2 trumpet players and a drummer who went over to the Bonneville side and played their school song to help them celebrate!! GO BEES!!!
