- And welcome back to our second game.

As you can see, Gladstone with a 150 to 70 lead over Pickford, we'll get back into the questions in a bit, but let's spend a few seconds meeting the students.

Let's start with Gladstone.

Katie Zorza, you are a sophomore.

And you say that if you could spend time in the world of any book, or movie, or anything, it would be the world of "Heather: The Musical."

- It's a musical that takes place in the eighties, where basically there's this kind of trio of really popular people, and then another girl kinda gets brought into the group.

And it's a really cool story.

- And why would you want to live in that particular world?

- I just think that the, like, what happens in that time period was kind of interesting.

- Okay.

And on Wednesdays, what do you wear?

- Pink.

- Of course you would wear pink on Wednesdays.

Chad Britton, you are a senior.

And you say your dream is to become, and I'm quoting here, "a doctor of sorts."

So what exactly does a doctor of sorts do?

Do they, like, study sorts?

- So I've been looking into it, I'm leaning towards anesthesiology or radiology, one of those two fields.

- [Jim] Okay.

- Really, it's all based around my mother, she's a big influence on me.

- Oh, okay.

Is she a medical professional as well?

- Yes she is, She's a PA. - Oh, okay.

And so you're just kinda looking to follow in her footsteps.

- [Britton] Mhmm.

- Okay, well the world needs more medical professionals these days, that's for sure.

Dragon Graham, you are a senior and a team captain.

And you say that if you could live in the world of any book or movie, or any story it would be the world of "The Iliad."

And why do you want to go back to Greece?

- Mainly because to me, the past is really fascinating.

And during that time, every, like, every male had to be built all masculine, so that way he could give his life for any type of war.

And I've always wanted to be the masculine type, but have never been able to.

- (laughs) So you're thinking if you were magically transported to ancient Greece, that would help?

- Yes.

- Okay, well I tell you what, it was a very fascinating place from what I have read.

Now, Rodney, Rod Van Brocklin, you are a junior.

And you say you have a rather interesting dream, in that you want to drive NASCAR.

- Well, I started racing UPIR recently, and just fell in love with the sport.

It's all I want to do.

- And what got you started doing the road racing then?

- There was one of our friends, Reggie Lantagne, he called us one day and he's like, "Hey, I got a race car.

Do you want to drive?"

Alright.

- And that just kind of captured your fancy after that, huh?

- Oh, yeah.

- Okay, so I'm assuming we expect to see you at Daytona or Talladega sometime in the future?

- Oh, yeah.

- Okay, well we'll look forward to that then.

Those are the Gladstone Braves.

Now the Pickford Panthers: Ava Brzuchalski, you are a senior, and young lady, it sounds like you have a problem with plants.

(Ava laughs) want to tell us about it?

- My mom's always had indoor plants, so it's something I've grown up around, and so I furthered that passion during the original quarantine.

And then this summer I worked at a greenhouse, so I've just been slowly descending into a jungle in my room.

- (laughs) You say that like it's a bad thing though, especially because your dream is to actually open a plant store right?

- [Ava] Mhmm!

- [Jim] And what would your store consist of?

- Um, I'd have mostly indoor plants, that's my thing.

And plants yeah, I think, I don't know, I haven't thought of it really.

- Like you said, once you descend down that rabbit hole, you're never coming back, sadly.

Riley Wilson, you're a senior.

And you and I actually share a dream, in that we both want to go to space.

Why do you want to go?

- I've just always been really fascinated by space.

I've always, ever since I was little, wanted to know, especially what zero gravity feels like.

It's just always been a fantasy of mine to get up there and actually see what it's like.

And I just really am really fascinated by it.

- And I think a lot of people are.

And now that, of course, you can spend a quarter of a million dollars, you know, and have, what, four minutes of weightlessness through either Virgin or Blue Origin, is that something you would actually consider doing then?

- Uh, if I had enough money, 100% yes.

(laughter) - You and I both.

Okay, Lucas Haw, you are a sophomore.

And you have a rather lofty goal in one way that you could change the world, in that you want to reform the American education system.

- Well yeah, I suppose that most students would want to do that considering, like, a lot of other countries have a lot better education systems than America does, so we could structure it more like their countries than ours.

- Okay.

Do you think that that will ever be a possibility?

You think that'll ever happen?

- Yeah, definitely.

- And how would you affect the change yourself then?

- I could introduce ideas, I guess, from a student's perspective.

- Okay.

So you would just rather make the education system more student oriented than oriented some other way?

- Yes.

- Okay, okay, that's actually a very good goal.

And finally, Hunter Hagen, you are a senior.

And you say that both the teacher who influences you, and your current hero, is your High School Bowl coach Garde Kangas.

It actually kind of sounds like the two of you have a rather interesting relationship.

- It's a love, hate relationship.

I love him, he hates me.

- Okay, explain the love part of it to me then.

- He's just always been, just a guy that I look forward to seeing every day when I go to school.

Definitely.

- Okay, and then the hate part of the relationship?

- I think I'm just annoying to him.

- [Jim] On purpose I'm guessing though, right?

- Yeah, yeah, you could say that.

- Well, you know, sometimes there's just things about it.

And how, and how does your coach feel about all this?

- I think he agrees with me.

- Okay.

So a love, hate relationship between coach and student.

Got it.
