This Friday, Richland Northeast hosted its winter sports pep rally a few hours before the Coming Home basketball game against Lugoff-Elgin High School that evening.
To kick off the rally, RNE’s Cavalier marching band performed their routine as students were ushered into the gym.

Next up was a performance put on by Allan University’s “Band of Gold” to further hype up the crowd for the oncoming game.
After their performance was the long-awaited game of Family Feud, repped by upperclassmen and underclassmen wearing orange and blue to celebrate the last day of spirit week. The upperclassmen came out victorious with a score of 4-0.

The fun continued with a dance-off between one of RNE’s Student Resource Officers and upperclassman “Big Country” Mosely, followed by a game of “Finish the Lyrics” with the student body as a whole. The rally was concluded with the singing of the alma mater before students were dismissed back to their fourth block classes.
