Students show spirit during Blue and Gold Week

By Amari Rudison, Media Editor

GSW hosted their third annual spirit week, Blue and Gold Week, from February 12-18. The schedule was jam packed with events for students to participate in. The week started off with a Class Rep Extravaganza hosted by Mr. and Mrs. GSW. The class reps were split into two teams, blue and gold, and they fought hard to win a game of Jeopardy with several questions about GSW. The blue team consisted of seniors and sophomores, and the gold team consisted of freshman and juniors. After a grueling competition, the blue team beat the gold team.

The week continued with a Valentine’s Day fine dining event. Those who reserved a spot were able to enjoy a candlelit dinner with friends or partners, with a menu including steak, crab, dessert, and more. It was a romantic evening that many got to enjoy with their loved ones.

Wednesday came quick, and students got to have fun at a pop-up baseball game. Students enjoyed the game with free popcorn and pop rocks as the Canes beat Auburn Montgomery 4-3. After a successful win, students entered Thursday with Mega Karaoke, where students got to sing, entertain, and blow their friends away with their hidden talents. The night was young as students got to jump, scream, and support their friends.

On Friday night, students dressed to impress at the Sneaker Ball. Students were able to wear their favorite tennis shoes and best outfits, and dance to the latest hits. The party didn’t stop as students jammed out late into the night. Saturday consisted of both the Women and Men’s Basketball Game and the Class Rep Coronation. The reps that won for Mr. And Mrs. Freshman were Amir Milton and Trinity Daniels McNear. For Mr. and Mrs. Sophomore, the reps that won were Hunter Hockman and Shy’nesia Salter. For Miss Junior, it was Ty’Ina Moore. And lastly, Mr. and Mrs. Senior of GSW was Necia Hughes and Jamal Floyd.

The Men’s Basketball Team had a rough start, but were determined to make a comeback against Lander and end their losing streak. In the end, they were not able to pull ahead, ending with a triple overtime defeat 115-105. But the loss didn’t stop the Women’s Basketball Team from going strong. The Women’s Basketball Team played hard and won their game 65-47, thus winning the PBC as Regular Season Champions.
