Cape Fear’s spirit week and homecoming was last
week and as the British would say it was
‘smashing’. Everyone looked so festive in their
themed spirit day outfits and it really showed how
much support all of us have for CFA. Though last
week was only a four day school week (MLK day
off), I thought it was one of the best/most eventful
spirit weeks yet.
Our four spirit days were: Group Day, Neon Day,
$5 Prom Day, and Blue & Gold Day. The math
department never ceased to impress 
. On group
day they dressed up as Wizard of Oz characters
(you normally wouldn’t expect your almost 7ft
math teacher to come school in a lion costume, tail
and all but it happens). On Neon day most teachers
sported their FEAR shirts but again Mr. Adams
went all out and won a Port City Java gift card for
his school spirit and on the next day he won another gift card to Rita’s for his canadian tuxedo.
But I have to say on Friday it would’ve been hard to judge who had on the most blue and gold
since pretty much everyone was wearing jeans.
The last day of spirit week was so exciting. In the morning our performing arts center was finally
opened (and would be showing the Book of Liz in) and we (the high schoolers) got to watch the
ribbon cutting. Later in the morning we continued with out normal tradition of having a parade
for the lower grades followed by our pep rally. The cheer leaders and pep band did a great job in
PEPping everyone up for the multiple dodgeball games. Though the seniors won (as always) it
was clear that everyone was excited for homecoming.
Friday evening the JV boys’, Varsity girls’, and Varsity boys’ basketball teams played their hearts
out. In between the V girls and V guys games the crowd got to watch the homecoming court
(part of the Sophomore court pictured above) and see Georgia Parker (fellow blogger) get
crowned queen. The JV boys’ game though, I have to say was he most intense basketball game
I’ve seen especially when I finally looked up from playing with an Ipad to see that there were 40
seconds left and the score was 35 to 34. Some how the other team managed 4 free throw points
in this time (unbelievable with the amount of Cape Fear fans screaming). We only got one free
throw in. Score: 36 to 38. By some stroke of luck in the last 7 seconds one of our freshman
players made a half court shot and well… IT GOT IN. SCORE: 39 TO 38 CANES WON.
