- And welcome back to the second half of our second game, Dollar Bay with a 210-10 lead over Wakefield-Marenisco.

We'll be back into the questions in just a few, but let's spend a couple of minutes finding out who the students are.

Let's start with Noah Halkola, who for Dollar Bay is a sophomore.

Noah, you said that if you could live in the world of any book or movie, it would be the world of Back to the Future.

Why that movie?

- Because I want a time machine and you know, tons of questions can be answered with that and also the car's cool.

- Ah, okay, so would you use your time machine to go back or front?

- Back, because I don't want to go and see my future self and see where I end up.

That's scary.

- Okay, but technically if you go back, couldn't you accidentally change something that would then impact the future you?

- I don't know, I guess I'll see when I get there.

- Okay, of course, will you actually know that you get there because you'll, eh, it's a paradox.

- I don't know.

- Okay.

Nick Thomas, you are a senior and you say that the insanity of the past year and a half has actually caused you to become a germophobe?

- Yeah, I never used to pay attention to really how sick I got or how much I touch things or how much people sneeze.

And now that everyone's made me paranoid about it, it's always in my head and it's always bugging me and oh, it's frustrating sometimes.

- Do you think you'll ever recover from it?

- I think eventually I'll get comfortable again, but for the moment I'm a little uneasy whenever I'm around people, so... - Well it's been a strange year and a half.

so I don't blame you one bit.

Cody Ringler, you are a Senior and a team captain, and you've done something I don't think anyone who's passed through these halls the past few years has done, you recorded an album.

Tell me about it.

- Yeah, well, over a year and a half I composed and worked on and like made lyrics for 12, well, 10 full songs, two interludes to make a whole album.

- And what kind of music is it?

- It's kind of pop-rock, but I think it's a little more, I hope that it's a little more experimental than that.

- And Cody, by the way, is recording under the name Ables Bakers and the C's, correct?

- Yeah, the Ables and the Bakers and the C's.

- Okay, and you can actually find that at some services as well, so congratulations on that.

Now, Claudia Torrey you are a sophomore and you say, if you could do one thing big or small to change the world, you would want to erase mosquitoes from existence.

- Yes.

- Why?

- I think it's pretty, self-explanatory, there's a lot of other bugs and they do help the ecosystem.

But right now I find them very annoying, so... - Okay, you could potentially by doing this become the most popular woman on the planet, you realize that, right?

- I was just thinking, I want those things gone.

- Well, either way, it's a win-win, so good luck on that Claudia.

Those are the Dollar Bay Blue Bolts.

Now the Wakefield-Marenisco Cardinals.

Naya Hewitt, you are a Senior.

And you know, it sounds like if you could do one thing to change the world that would really help Nick of Dollar Bay and that you would just want to snap your fingers and end this pandemic.

- Yes, if I could, I would.

- [Koski] Why?

- I feel like it's going to go on, I feel like it'll never, it's been going on for so long and I'm ready for it to be over, and it just end.

- Do you think that if it finally does end, so say you snap your fingers and it ends, do you think that will actually go back to doing things the way we used to right away?

Or what do you think that... - I think it will take some time, because we're so used to this life now that everything's so different.

- It's been a weird year and a half, hasn't it?

Yeah, Braylin Lynott, you are a Senior and you say the one thing that defines the real you, and I've liked this a lot myself personally, is going to the beach.

- Yes, I absolutely love it.

Any chance I get, I'll drive out to Lake Superior and just sit there and tan, play in the water.

- And what do you find this does for you?

Does it help your mental health?

Your physical health?

- Yes, definitely, it's just calming and relaxing.

I can just shut out the world and usually I don't have service, so I have no distractions.

- So you're just there, you, nature, the sound of the water on them.

- [Lynott] Yep.

- Ah, can anything be better than that?

- I don't think so.

- Yeah, I don't think so either.

Aiden Anderson, you are a junior and a team captain.

And you say that the people to whom you're looking at these days, your personal heroes are healthcare workers, but one specifically, right?

- Yeah.

- Tell me about her.

- My mom, who during this whole COVID pandemic was working longer hours than she's ever has.

And just like, I didn't notice it before, but I really started to realize that she puts so much work in and especially all of these healthcare workers, it's really risking their lives and I really support that.

- I think that in the past 18 or 19 months, they have just been like phenomenal at what they do.

And we do owe them a huge round of thanks.

So when you get home tonight, tell your mom I said, thank you.

- I will.

- Okay, and Caitlin Gustafson, you are a Junior.

And you say that if you could live in the world of any book or movie, it would be the world of the Chronicles of Narnia, why?

- Okay, do you ever go past a closet door and wonder?

- Not really.
