Golf Wars: Staff
vs. FHS Students
Ashley Bletch ‘08
Flash Staff Reporter
It’s fabulous to see the staff
and students doing something fun together outside the
school walls.
This past month some
staff members and the girls
golf team made a game between them. Of course it was
a great competition, but the
greater thing is this game
didn’t mean win or lose it
meant a day of relaxation and
laughs.
“We worked hard all year
won every match, but it was
fun for the us to take a brake
and not to be so serious playing just to have a good laugh
and to show that we are just
as good as adults even better,” said Bryce Hetchler

team
against
Hetchler’s team when Dr.
Richards took his last putt
and tied the game. Even
though the game was tied between them all the participated were happy with the
results. Dr. Richards took a
victory lap as teams shook
hands and congratulated for
a great job.
“If I missed that hole we
would have never tied and
the students would have victory but because of my last
turn both staff and the students shared the victory.
Where in my eyes is better
then winning,” said Principal
Dr. Richards.
