Bringing energy, laughter, and friendly competition to the Nash Student Center, students and faculty faced off in one of the year’s favorite pep rally traditions, the Student-Faculty Basketball Game.
With a loud and enthusiastic crowd cheering every play, the event highlighted fun, teamwork, and good sportsmanship as the faculty secured a 31–11 victory. Basketball players, who were not eligible to compete, served as coaches and officials, adding to the excitement and student involvement.
Organized by the varsity cheerleaders under the leadership of Capt. Bowen Zitzke and Co-Capt. Madison Grace Hansen, the pep rally ended on a meaningful note as senior basketball player Ford Wilder addressed the crowd before everyone gathered together to sing the Alma Mater and fight song, celebrating the strong Baron spirit that filled the gym.
