Westeros, off of Central and Camelback

Donald Sterling seeks ownership of Intramural Basketball League

It seems that lately, in the wake of the mystery, excitement and gusto of Season 4 of “Game of Thrones,” the Brophy faculty has engaged in actions hauntingly similar to those in the not -yet-confirmed fictional land of Westeros. Recently, it was discovered not only that Brophy has been renamed Westeros, but also that each department of education at Brophy has been restructured into kingdoms, with each building of Brophy designated a specific house. The Language Dept. became House Schmidbauer, the English Dept. House Danforth, the Social Studies Department House Hooten, the Math Dept. House Woods, the Science Dept. House Widbin, and the Religious Studies Dept. House Shores. Approximately fifty more houses were created…. but you’ll never be able to remember their names.

Sir John of House Buchanan is the Warden of the North, always on guard to invasions by the wildlings of Central High School. He has turned the entirety of Piper into Castle White, an outpost for the nascent Broncos’ Watch. In essentially the most unproductive decision ever made, letters and emails were left to be delivered by ravens.

Recently, ravens went out to Brophy students detailing the Eastern lands, as they are largely unknown to the Brophy students.

Donald Sterling's fallout with the Los Angeles Clippers put him back on the market for a new team or, what a few reporters have confirmed, an entire league.

Sterling supposedly claimed, “I don’t want physically inferior spectators at my games.”

A recent boycott on the rules changes started when students of shorter stature and cold ankles marched with picket signs around the gym demanding the rules to be changed. One student After Sterling's lifetime ban from said on the subject, “I have a wet the NBA, he looked for basketball jumper.

Hubbell critiques teacher 2048 misogyny

By Chase Bishov ’14

In a fit of rage, Mr. Hubbell cried out, “How dare you play such a game.” This comment occurred merely minutes after Hubbell found a young student playing the Teacher 2048 Game, which solely features men. Hubbell would continue, “This ‘game’ perpetuates the disenfranchisement of womyn at Brophy. They can handle being in a game just fine!” At the end of the day, however, he concluded that “his pressed suits, tight chinos, and unbiased attitude will transcend any misogynistic little tech-kid.”

Tour de Brophy… and Xavier?

By Chandan Saini ’14

On April 30, seniors from across the valley banded together and put on incredibly tight pants for Tour de Brophy. Seniors spent countless hours training for the ten-mile trek. Many teachers were impressed and expressed their shock in actually finding remaining work ethic in the senior class. Moreover, a select few riders were given the chance to train with Lance Armstrong. These seniors said that they felt more prepared than ever. One senior commented, “We didn’t even ride. He just took us to Walgreens.”

Further, these sources have also noted that the culprit was using an illegal bike, which was not meant for such prolific jumps or personalities. Nonetheless, his collision was not in vain as he made SportsCenter's Not Top 10.

The seniors then rode through Xavier to massive applause. One spectator claimed as she updated her snapchat story, “We should totally do this. OMG!” Another student added, “Yeah, but like let’s start like The Tour started around 3am. On the shot of the gun, riders furious- a half-mile away.” Xavier administration couldn’t believe the lack of ly pedaled their way towards Brophy. They were so relentless that conservative dress.
