Homecoming week is always filled with many different activities, such as pep assemblies and the bonfire. Last year, the Student Council introduced a new activity to the homecoming week: Roshambo Day.

On Sept. 30, all the West students and teachers competed in a rock, paper, scissors tournament. Two people would play the game, betting a certain amount of beads that they had won throughout the day. Each grade and teachers had different color beads worth one point, but the homecoming candidates had gold beads worth five points. 

Haley Montgomery, a junior, played throughout the day.

 “It’s really a nice way to add in another fun activity for homecoming week, and I feel like I talked to some people in my classes I haven’t really talked to before,” Montgomery said.

Many students participated throughout the whole day, making it a fun way to get the spirit up during homecoming week. To add to the excitement, the four students with the most points in each grade by the end of Sept. 30 got to go back and compete in two final rounds at the pep assembly on Oct. 2. 

Senior Nick Goldsmith was one of the final four to go and play, and he was the champion of Roshambo day. 

“Last year I got knocked out first round, but this year I came hungry, came different, and I knew it wasn’t going to happen again,” Goldsmith said.

Roshambo day filled the halls with laughter and spirit, bringing people together who have maybe never spoken before. It’s proven two years in a row that it is a fun contribution to homecoming week, and many students can’t wait for it to return next year.

“It was a super great part of Homecoming week,” Goldsmith said. “It was a great opportunity for me and I was really glad I won that $50 trip gift card.”
