Last week at Monaco Elementary, students participated in the annual pumpkin drop event. The young and aspiring physicists were given the challenge of designing a sturdy enclosure to protect their pumpkins from a high drop off the top of the school building.

Coach Smith Reports: This will be a learning game for us. The effort was there the entire time. We just did not execute well at crucial moments. We will learn from this and be better. Last year we did not compete well against them but this year was a game we should have won. I think we will bounce back and have a strong game tomorrow vs a very good Ponder team.
