March 7, 2024-- Fifteen teams entered, but only one emerged victorious during High School East's dodgeball tournament yesterday, which featured students and faculty.

There was Team Shiesty, the Matrix, the Predators, the female stars of Lucky Charms (left), Shore Shots, Headphone Dent, and Cohen's Secret Service, among many other capable and competitive squads. But the double-elimination tournament ultimately yielded to Ice Spice Elite, which will retain the coveted title of dodgeball champions for the next year.

Still, others can take solace in taking home some secondary awards. Super Mario Ballz, for example, won Best Dressed (left), and who can argue with that?

And everyone-- students, faculty, and fans-- had a blast, which was the whole point. The action, fun, and smiles were all captured by teacher and photographer extraordinaire Allison Goodwin, whose photos are featured here.

Congratulations to Ice Spice Elite on their hard-fought win. No doubt there will be a target on their backs heading into 2024-2025.
