[Kat Kid]

Placed 3rd in Kansas State History Day.

[Perry]

Got a sack, causing a fumble in the tackle football league I played in during 2nd grade. Decided to retire while on top, in hindsight I should have stayed the course and risked ruining my legacy for the sake of EMAW having a good D-Linemen aside from BH. (would be a true sophomore, just like BH this year. Sorry, folks)

[Pete]

Wrote, directed and stared in the winning 1993 homecoming "Yell like hell" skit.  We finished third overall that year.   Almost made it worth while to do homecoming with the Thetas.

WENT TO STATE SPELLING BEE



 

I lost the speelling bee at my school by misspelling the word "success".  A dark day in the Chingon household, that loss meant another weekend in "The Box".

Yeah, what made it even better was that the top three were displayed at the county court house for like two weeks.  It felt good to be a local celebrity at such a young age.  All of the loser posters were put up in the school cafeteria, and I swear there were like 20 posters that said "An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away" with a picture of an apple.  It was a lame idea to begin with, but knowing that all those kids copied off each other was laughable.

[Dirty Sanchez]

Only underclassman on 2nd place in state scholars bowl team. (4A)
Led a team the next year in a first round upset (14 seed over a 3) of Topeka Hayden on Hi-Q.

Hit 14 straight 3 pointers.  Missed one.  Then hit 5 more.  Uncontested, but still.

[jmlynch1]

I once ate a bouncy ball.

[EllToPay]

hit a solo HR in a 12-1 loss to our heated rival in 5th grad on field 9 (aka "The Pit") at 3&2.
