Let's start with Jasmine Grotto, who's a sophomore.

And you say you have a very interesting dream in life in that you want to become an organist in a ballpark.

- Yeah.

I've played piano for about seven years now.

So I kind of would like to turn that into a career.

- And would you play all the favorites?

Like Take Me Out to the Ball Game and everything?

- For sure.

- [Jim] You kind of have to.

Okay.

Well, you know what?

That sounds like it's an interesting and a fascinating career path.

I hope you get to actually do it once or twice in your life.

So the other maroon that we have not yet met is Danna Field, who is a sophomore.

And Danna, I found this kind of interesting.

You said that if you could live in the world of any movie or book, you would want to live in the world of the movie, 'Cars'.

I knew this question was going to be asked.

(Jim chuckling) Okay.

Like who wouldn't want to be a car?

Like you just drive around, you go wherever you need to be.

Those are the two members of the Menominee Maroons we have not yet met.

Let's move down to the Houghton Gremlins.

Tyler Gregersen, you are a sophomore, and you say that one of the things that kind of defines who you are, is your interest in the game, Dungeons and Dragons.

What do you?

Why?

- Well, I've always liked fantasy.

I think that it's a really neat way to just like express and enjoy yourself.

Were you able to still do it during the pandemic?

It's not quite the same, but it still works.

So I started playing chest, I guess, competitively since the seventh grade, and I've really wanted to get really good at it.

So I'm hoping that, given enough time, I could become a Grandmaster.

- Okay.

How many years do you think that would take?

- I think it would take at least six.

- Okay.

- Probably much more.

I have a dust allergy.

It kind of sucks when like I go up into like the attic and get something out.

I hate dusting as well, I don't want to deal with it.

Do you think that that will ever you'll ever be able to do it?

- No.

Probably not.

- [Jim] But a boy can dream, right?

- Yeah.

Okay.

And finally, Cyrus Hamlin, you are a junior, and you say that one thing that the insanity of the past two years is taught you is of the importance of sleep.

- Yeah.

So last, like before the pandemic, when it just started, I probably wasn't getting as much sleep as I needed.

And throughout the pandemic, my schedule worked out so that I could just have fifth and sixth, have sixth and seventh hours off and just go home.

And so with that extra time, I was able to work in extra sleep, which just made me feel so much better.

- Well, you know, I know that the pandemic has caused a lot of pain and heartache, and inconvenience for people, but I've been finding out that people have been learning some good things too.

And I'm glad that there was an upside of this pandemic for you.

So those are the Houghton Gremlins along with the Menominee Maroons, the two teams in the second half of tonight's High School Bowl.
