Gettin' Rough n' Tough for Charity

   This week the Western High School seniors and juniors face off in the annual WHS Rough n' Tough. The Rough 'n Tough is a volleyball fundraiser organized by Key Club in which the senior guys play the junior guys in a three set game, with the winners moving on to face off against the varsity girls team.
   Since the Michigan High School Athletic Association doesn't include a men's volleyball league, this gives high school boys a chance to stretch and show off their volleyball muscles. The Rough 'n Tough also gives the opposing senior and junior classes a means to settle their long-time rivalry.
      Key Club president Erin O'neil, when asked about potential winner of the game, commented," Well, the seniors normally win, so I'm gonna go with them, but when it comes to the varsity girls versus the seniors, I gotta put my money on the ladies."
   All proceeds raised go to the Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital, which treats chronically ill children for just 19 dollars a day.
   The price of admission is $5 and the date has been moved from March 9th to Saturday, March 18th at 7:30pm.
