On Saturday, Nov. 19, the boys volleyball team won states. However, despite their claims, they did not do it alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The day is Nov. 10, 2022 and the J-D Athletic Department is in a meeting. What do they do? States is in nine days and they have no hope to win. \u201cDo we forfeit and not get embarrassed?\u201d one timid coach asks. \u201cDo we try our best until we don\u2019t succeed?\u201d another says. Murmurs erupt, but are interrupted: \u201cNo! All we need to do is get a little\u2026 Looney.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That night, a call is made to the one and only Bugs B. Bunny. \u201cWhat’s up, doc?\u201d the anthropomorphic rabbit asks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI need you to return a favor long overdue, old friend,\u201d says the caller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI owe a lot to a lot of people, doc,\u201d Bunny responds, munching on a carrot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt’s Lawson. Gregory Lawson,\u201d replies the caller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhy didn’t ‘cha say so, doc! Count us in, whaddya need a new mascot? We have plenty of talking animals but I don\u2019t think we have a ram,\u201d Bunny states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, no. We need the Tune Squad. Ever played volleyball, Bugs?\u201d asks Lawson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe split up, Greg. After Michael Jordan’s retirement, we thought we were done, but then Lebron James got us out only to get a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes, so we gave up on sports,\u201d says Bunny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat if I gave you a week’s worth of school lunch carrots, the ones in those not environmentally responsible plastic bags?\u201d asks Lawson. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ve got yourself a deal, doc!\u201d exclaims Bunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Practice began the next day. Lola Bunny was serving specialist while Daffy Duck was setter. Bugs Bunny himself played libero while Tweety Bird and Sylvester were outside hitter and middle blocker. The Tasmanian Devil played defensive specialist. The team was crazy good and showed great promise. It wasn\u2019t until everyone arrived in Albany that the Tune Squad put on their teenage boy disguises (really smelly) and hit the court. No one could tell that the team was secretly Looney Tunes characters in disguise. Even Michael B. Jordan was there to have a short cameo and one-liner before disappearing! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a new trophy under J-DHS’ name safely inside the trophy case, Mr. Lawson felt accomplished, even while shipping out thousands of carrot packages to Bunny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
