It’s Wish Week day two, Feb. 8, and royalty floods the hallways. Kings and Queens alike flock to each class for the King and Queen dress-up day, representing Walter’s love for his favorite game, Chess. Once the school day came to a close, Key Club hosted a spaghetti dinner in the Vista cafeteria, followed by the Unified basketball game, ending with a victory for the team.  The Unified team was victorious over the Vista varsity baseball team and some rogue teachers who suddenly appeared on the court. 

Later that night, Boys varsity basketball finished off the day with a game that had students and fans on the edge of their seats. Packed in like sardines, starting around 6:30pm, students quickly filed into the stands of the Mountain Vista main gym to watch the Vista vs. Heritage game. The senior night game finished with a score of 58-53. Some highlight moments from #11 Radek Homer,12, and #2 Nick Stone,12, and #22 Caden Stevens sent the crowd into a frenzy as the game came to a close.

Meanwhile, the girl’s basketball team played at Heritage and left their mark. They defeated the Heritage Eagles with a score of 53 – 28.

Throughout the day and before the game, students were encouraged to visit Wish Week sponsors, Nicolo’s Pizza and Crumbl Cookie to enjoy a fresh meal or snack as well as Cold Stone for a cold treat after the game.
