Heading into Friday night’s faculty challenge against the girls varsity basketball team, both sides were talking some serious smack.

Senior guard Lily Hobbs boldly predicted a 100-0 victory on the team’s Instagram account.

Her teammate and fellow senior Sam Cowles told her dad, math teacher and PALS adviser Richard Cowles, that she was planning to dunk over him.

Not to be outdone, the elder Cowles added blueberries to his pre-game smoothie declaring that each one represented a rebound he intended to grab during the game.

The most frequent trash-talker, according to Hobbs, was varsity head coach-turned-nemesis Carly Kehn, and her commentary posted on the aforementioned Instagram account bears that assessment out.

“I think we have a size advantage,” Kehn boasted to the Internet. “I think we know their game plan. I may or may not know their offense and their defense.”

Initially, this reporter thought Kehn had lost her mind. The two-time defending District 24-5A champs and 2024 bi-district champions against a bunch of teachers dragging their tired bodies to the large gym at the end of a long week before finals?

No contest right? 

Well, it was not as if Kehn just drew a random list of teachers’ names out of a hat. There were no 5-foot-9 journalism teachers prone to turnovers and air balls on her roster; instead, there were no fewer than seven basketball coaches and 11 coaches overall, plus a trainer and a math teacher who were among the tallest trees in the gym. They even had a dance director on the roster to celebrate successful 3-point shot attempts as needed. 

The varsity meanwhile played without an experienced coach, although team manager Lucy Cottrill nobly stepped in as the varsity’s interim coach for the evening seeing as the entire girls basketball coaching staff had defected, intent on annihilation instead of instruction.

Turns out height, strength and unexpected 3-point shooting prowess is a pretty tough combination to beat even if it’s dulled with rust and age.

The teachers jumped out to a five-point lead after a quarter and extended it to eight by halftime.
