**Sports Physicals Important Information**
Reeves Witte, Garrett Cumbow, Sutton Shrunk got permission to pull this off as a little prank on the teachers from the class of 2026.
In a prank that will go down in school history, Reeves Witte, Garrett Cumbow, Sutton Shrunk, surprised staff by setting up a full cattle corral right in the teacher parking lot—complete with a few very confused (but well-behaved) guests.
All in good fun and plenty of laughs, this one definitely earns a spot among the all-time great senior pranks. Safe to say… no one will be forgetting this anytime soon.
Will next year's class raise the . . . . steaks?
