Twelve clubs came to compete in Bronco Bowl, each wanting to discover if they were Legacy’s best. Bringing the competition back to it’s original battle over a cupcake in the promotional video, the final challenge was a giant cupcake-decorating competition. Every club hoped to win and call themselves the winner of the Bronco Bowl reality-series battle.
“I think I’ll be cheated in the end,” Acadec teacher Brandon Austin said. “Second place is the first loser, I hate it.”
According to Acadec team member Gideon von Bose, Austin promised his class a pizza party if they win. Swimming member J.D. Canclini hopes his team can win with their cupcake. His team created the shark’s mouth by cutting away part of the cupcake and placing teeth inside the hole to create their Jaws-like cupcake.
“The only thing I can compare [the possibiltiy of winning] to,” Canclini said, “is the first time I met Mickey Mouse.”
Bronco Bowl was not all about the competition: Colorguard enjoyed becoming closer to each other and bonding. They worked hard throughout all the challenges and ended up placing in the top three overall.
“We’ve actually enjoyed the most out of everyone,” Colorguard member Tessa McCauley said. “I really liked hanging out with all the other clubs.”
Soccer got serious, battling Acadec back and forth for the winner’s spot atop the podium. However, other teams accused Soccer of “cheating” throughout the competition. For example, the Trash Pick-Up Challenge left Soccer with a questionable amount of trash. Kevin Spoonemoore is still confident that Soccer will emerge victorious.
“[If we win] we’ll feel great because we always win,” Spoonemore said. “We’re not going to lose. If we lose the school will lose with us.”
Soccer solved the final challenge’s clue first, followed by Acadec and Book Club. The poll on therideronline.com also provided many points, with Soccer at 29, AVID at 22, and Acadec and Colorguard tying with 15 votes each. These votes factored in on a point per vote basis. The cupcake-decorating contest consisted of a tie between Acadec and Swimming; Principal David Wright thought Acadec should receive first, whereas the Bronco Bowl hosts thought Swimming should receive first. Both teams were awarded ten points and Colorguard received five points for their second-place performance.
According to the running totals, Acadec has won the title of Bronco Bowl Champion with 113 points. Soccer came in a close second with 111 points. Colorguard finished third with 86 points total. Austin has plans for his newly acquired trophy.
“I’ll probably take the trophy out to dinner, as is customary, just me and the trophy,” Austin said.
