In this month's Clash of the Classes, the Juniors took the lead with 35 points, Freshman are at 29, Sophomores have 14, and Seniors have 34 points. The games consisted of Musical chairs and variations of basketball. During the games, Jonathan Williams, Principle of Edmonson County Highschool, called for volunteers for the second round. 

Unfortunately, sophomores and freshmen provided no participants. Which resulted in having an extra round just for juniors and seniors.   

Nakayla Coleman, freshman and winner of musical chairs, said, “This was a fun and an exciting experience, and something I'll forever remember.”

Coleman has not only won musical chairs once, but twice. Regarding the first Clash of Classes. 

Zachary Kirk, senior contributor, said ¨Clash of the Classes is a chance for us to prove to the rest of the school that we are a team on either side. It's also an opportunity for us to try our best in front of our peers, and to compete in an honorable manner. Instead of us having the mindset of doing our worst, our mindset can be increased by striving to do better.”

        Jonathan Williams announced the basketball game that following night.

In the end, Williams introduced all basketball players of the school and had them line up for one big group photo.

The Edmonson County Highschool Gymnasium, where it took place.

On Nov. 11, Edmonson County Highschool, ECHS,  had their first Clash of Classes. Students participated in activities such as Knockout, Musical Chairs, Tug of War, and Dodgeball. Each grade had to take part with a certain number of students. In regards to making it fair, Johnathan Williams, principal of ECHS, had both male and female contestants. The class with the most earned points will receive a reward.

Chloe Noble, a sophomore participant in dodgeball, said, “It was interesting to see students enjoy activities, and have school spirit. This is something we should do more often.” Throughout the crowd, students were cheering for their grades with enthusiasm. 

Zachary Kirk, a senior participant in knockout, said, “It felt like I had something to look forward to. Students in the school were excited to compete against each other. I wish we did it when I was a sophomore.”

The Clash of Classes was started by Mr. Williams and will be a monthly event. As of this month, the junior class holds the lead, but that is subject to change with each Clash of Classes.
