MAKING HISTORY. For the first time in 124 years, the Olympic Games will be postponed. In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the IOC in coordination with the Prime Minister of Japan has decided to postpone the 2020 Olympic Games until 2021. While the postponement of the Games holds sorrow for many, the IOC and other Olympic leaders agree that the future Olympic Games should hold a symbol of hope, with the Olympic flame being “the light at the end of the tunnel in which the world finds itself at present.”

THAT’S A WRAP. Marching band finishes their season strong after competing in their final performance at Mason. Members spend a lot of time together, so oftentimes it is hard for seniors to move on past the 900 hours put towards band. However, they often always do and learn to replace all of that time with other things that brings them joy.

“Outside of actually paying golf, our team does a lot of weird things. The weirdness of the team exists while we play but it is extremely evident when we’re not playing. This can be seen in our team sleepovers, especially between the antics of Emma and Sydney, they can be seen wrestling, fighting, throwing food, and just being lovable goof balls!”

GO AVES GO. Senior cheerleader Kennedy Archer is cheering on the Aves during one of their last home games. “Stepping out on the track to cheer one last time was a decision I was happy I made. I stopped cheering when I got to high school, so I’ve missed the excitement of cheering. This has been an awesome season cheering with my teammates, one I will not forget,” Archer said.

ALL BARK, NO BITE. Although it is highly frowned upon, even in professional leagues players still resort to the art of trash-talk. Some of the most iconic sports players in history like Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, and Sean Avery have even refrained from keeping the game totally clean. According to Shaquille O’ Neal, Jordan once told him exactly what he was going to do during the game and yet still pulled it off. "I'm coming down. I'm going to dribble it between my legs twice. I'm going to pump fake and then I'm going to shoot a jumper. And then I'm going to look at you," recited O’ Neal.

When is trash talking valid?
