Let’s go Marauders! As clubs, sports, and school events were firing up for this school year, the exciting news that the first Fall Rugby Pep Rally, hosted by the Athletic Association, was announced. “This was a new idea that came from our Athletic Association executives, and I was more than happy to support it” said Ms. Haney, Athletic Director of Mentor College. In past years, the Athletic Association pep rally has taken place in the spring, with students having the opportunity to watch and cheer on the Varsity Girls’ soccer teams. This year, the Athletic Association’s goal was to raise awareness and coverage for other exciting sports. On October 16, the pep rally took place. Mentor students came to support the Junior and Senior Boys’ Rugby teams, as they faced off against different schools. Both Marauder teams played exceptionally well, and everyone at the sidelines was entertained by the excitement of the sport. To express their support, Mentor students wore tattoos and face paint with creative green and blue designs. However, watching the game was not the only highlight. All individuals who purchased a ticket were automatically entered into a raffle to win exclusive Athletic Association merchandise.
