As the seniors wait to hear back from colleges, the impact of spending nearly a year learning online takes its toll on their mental health. Hope arrives with the rollout of the COVID vaccine, and as case numbers begin to fall, DVHS announces the return of some sports. Ebei and Kadynce try out for cheer, Ahmad plays football, and Mr. Cam finally hears from one of his missing students.

00:00I have not heard from Emily in a couple months.
00:03From the looks of it, I don't think that she's doing the applications.
00:07I don't really know.
00:08Youth sports is still sidelined.
00:11Football season was supposed to be right now.
00:13They're planning for us to go back in January.
00:15I'm really hoping that plan is what we stick to.
00:18I miss my team.
00:19I miss hearing my coach tell me and Ebby to stop goofing off
00:22and give back to the dance routine itself.
00:24I miss that.
00:25To get a scholarship, you have to be seen.
00:27You have to be watched.
00:28And if you're not playing, you don't get the same kind of evaluation
00:32and they don't get those college opportunities.
00:35Friends lighting candles and hanging balloons tonight
00:37to pay tribute to Reuben Lewis.
00:39He was more than a basketball coach.
00:40Like, I looked up to him like a big brother.
00:42I don't know what to say.
00:56Got it.
00:58Back work.
00:59That ain't it.
01:04Oh!
01:06Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
01:08I was going to say, it's been a while, bro.
01:17I haven't played basketball in a long time.
01:19It's been a while.
01:21Last time I shot on the actual court?
01:25Probably...
01:27It's been at least a year, obviously.
01:30It's been at least a year, obviously, because of quarantine.
01:36Oh!
01:37I'm putting my point there.
01:40Me and Amani played against each other in high school.
01:44He went to Antioch High.
01:46The same city rivalry.
01:48The better school?
01:49Not the better program, though.
01:52Yeah, it's not.
02:00That's the rim. That's not even me.
02:09Feels good. I made sure to land on this one.
02:12He was smart.
02:14Yeah, I don't think I'm going to dunk again.
02:18Ever again?
02:19I think those babies are over.
02:21Nah, you just got to re-tab. You got to go hard.
02:24I don't know if I want to rehab.
02:26I'll do it with you, and then that'll make me be able to jump.
02:29That's the funny part.
02:34That's one thing that sucks about the pandemic.
02:36Having all the free time but can't do what you want.
02:37I know.
02:39Yeah.
02:40Nah, I think about it.
02:42My whole family had it. Your whole family had it.
02:44That's literally our whole family.
02:46Like, everybody in our family has had it.
02:47I didn't even think about that until right now.
02:49Yeah.
02:50That's crazy.
02:54I'm ready to get back to real life.
02:56I feel like we're in a simulation.
02:58A bad one at that.
03:02Give me some time.
03:06Hey.
03:07Hey.
03:08Hey.
03:09Oh.
03:10Damn.
03:11I played with two messed up knees in high school.
03:13You can play with a mess up, bro.
03:14Dude.
03:18Cheers.
03:22Work all day till my feet get so
03:30Keep on workin' till the whistle blow
03:33Oh, when the night time come
03:36It's on when the night time come
03:38Wear this mask on my face all day
03:41Smilin' like I'm never know what you say
03:44Oh, till the night time come
03:47It's on when the night time come
03:50Wear this mask on my face all day
03:52Smilin' like I'm never know what you say
03:56Oh, till the night time come
03:58It's on when the night time come
04:01It ain't really over, it has just begun
04:04We gonna be alright when the night time come
04:07Tired of tryin' to figure what I might become
04:09I just wanna sing my song when the night time come
04:20Oh, there we go, finally
04:29Can y'all see my screen?
04:34Yup, it's good
04:35Good morning, everybody
04:38I see Jordan
04:40Javonte
04:41Alright, cool
04:43Hope everybody is doin' well
04:45So in the chat for me, just give me a one word
04:49Tell me how you're feelin' this morning
04:51So I see tired, I see meh
04:53Good, thank you Raven
04:55Pretty tired, good, tired, hungry
04:57I'm feelin' that one too
04:59I'm feelin' that one too
05:00Okay, good, fine, tired, sleepy
05:03Tired, tired, tired, tired, tired
05:06For sure
05:06No, I'm definitely with y'all
05:11School was supposed to go back in January
05:23We're still closed
05:26And we're gonna be closed till at least April
05:29We're still closed
05:30Um
05:32So
05:34Other places in the country are
05:37You know, open
05:38Xavier College Prep High School students return to campus today for in-person learning
05:42Oldham County schools are planning to welcome their students back in-person on Monday, January 11th
05:48Local school systems are making their own decisions on how to move forward with classes
05:52Small groups can resume on-campus learning and activities starting today
05:59But Antioch has been closed since March of last year
06:02It's been almost a full year now
06:04You can be tired, it can be drained
06:06That's a lot of time to be spending on your own
06:08Be whatever you want to be
06:10Look at where we're at now
06:11We're still online
06:13So I don't think we're gonna go back to school at all
06:16It's like the whole year, it's just been the same
06:19Everyone's saying it's like being repetitive
06:21Are we gonna go back this month?
06:22And then the month comes and it's like, oh no, we can't
06:27And I think that
06:28That hurts their souls a little bit, to be honest
06:31To know that
06:33That they're not gonna be coming back
06:35And then they're gonna have to go through what they're going through
06:38For a couple more months
06:40I don't know how y'all get up this early in the morning
06:43I don't know
06:44It kinda sucks
06:45Yeah
06:47It's really hard to be home right now
06:49Especially because I'm normally alone in the house
06:52Because everybody's always working or just not here
06:54It's very different
06:57As well, it's just a bummer
07:00Not seeing my friends every day
07:02So I don't have that social interaction that I need
07:06I get to a point, so I'm just like
07:10I'll stare at the laptop screen
07:13I'm just staring at it, I'm like
07:14It's time to stop
07:17This is not fair
07:20I hope we get to graduate in a prom in a season
07:26That's it
07:28That's crazy
07:29Oh man, no more
07:31I miss the people, I miss the teammates
07:33The football games, all of that
07:35So hopefully we get back out there soon
07:40And who knows
07:43All right, so we're going to go over financial aid applications today
07:49Okay
07:50Financial aid
07:53Well, we're going to talk about it
07:55So somebody actually tell me
07:55What is financial aid?
07:57Somebody tell me what is financial aid?
07:59Raise your hand and let me know
08:00Isn't that money you did for college?
08:02Yes, exactly
08:03It's money that you get for college
08:04Thank you
08:05Thank you
08:06I don't know who said that
08:07But yes
08:08Even if you're accepted
08:11That doesn't mean you're going to go
08:13So financial aid packages are a huge part of their decision-making process
08:17Money is a real factor to consider
08:22It's based solely on financial need
08:24As far as like college is concerned
08:27California has a March 2nd priority deadline for the FAFSA application
08:32So that's been a huge push towards the end of February, early March
08:38You want to fill out your FAFSA
08:46Because there is a pool of money that we have here for student aid
08:52And if you don't apply by this deadline, that money usually dries up
08:57That is our goal, that is our deadline
09:00This is what the FAFSA home looks like
09:02Okay
09:04So if you're not on this website, you're probably in the wrong place
09:08If you haven't started yet, you're going to click start here
09:11And it will take you to a completely different website
09:14And that is where you create your FAFSA ID
09:16All right
09:19I appreciate y'all for engaging with me, paying attention
09:22I appreciate my folks who didn't fall asleep on me
09:25I don't know if you did or not
09:27I'm going to just be optimistic that everybody was paying attention the entire time
09:32Over
09:33That was a lot
09:44Honestly, I feel as though
09:47I know like college is really expensive and all that stuff
09:50So financial aid does play a big role in determining where
09:55But, you know, I feel like if my heart is really in it
09:59I'm going to do whatever I need to do to get there
10:03Thanks for calling Federal Student Aid
10:08This call may be monitored or recorded for quality and training purposes
10:23Please tell me the reason for your call
10:26FAFSA application
10:29I've been trying to apply to a few scholarships
10:35So far I haven't gotten, like, really any back
10:38I hate revolving my life around money
10:41But then it's like, how are you going to go to college without it?
10:45Okay, say the option you want when you hear it
10:49Application status
10:51Student aid report
10:52Corrections and update
10:53Dependency
10:54Financial and taxes
10:55Signature
10:56Deadline
10:56State higher education agency
10:58Or
10:59General application questions
11:01Wait, hold on
11:03Would you like to hear that again?
11:08Let me just call again
11:10I checked the FAFSA website
11:13It was, like, empty
11:14So then I was kind of confused
11:15But I'm not really sure
11:18It's kind of scary
11:20Because, like, what if I don't even get money
11:23And it's like, um, what am I going to do?
11:32Thanks for calling Federal Student Aid
11:34You can say name menu
11:36Or press the star key to return
11:39Sorry, I didn't get that
11:43The way things are going
11:45Like, a lot of people's attitudes
11:46Like, even sometimes me
11:48Just feel like
11:48I just want to get my diploma
11:49So I can go on with my life
11:51Like, I don't even care about this anymore
11:52You make that decision
11:55On what the best option is for you
11:56When you hear back from all your schools
11:58And I really hope that
12:00Financially they're able to go
12:02Because I think these are going to be
12:04Great opportunities for them
12:05For FAFSA application questions
12:08Student aid report
12:09Or other help
12:09Say FAFSA
12:11FAFSA
12:12Go to FAFSA.gov
12:16To start either FAFSA
12:18For summer sessions
12:19Contact the school
12:21Would you like to hear that again?
12:26No
12:27Okay, this is not working
12:30Our activities director
12:47Like, he said that since
12:49We're leadership
12:50We can't be tired
12:52But I'm tired
12:53It's stressful
12:56Because we have to be the ones
12:58To keep everybody else motivated
12:59As well as keeping ourselves motivated
13:01As well as keeping ourselves motivated
13:01We think about
13:04Mental health versus physical health
13:06That's quite literally
13:07What this battle is right now
13:09I think students have something to lose here
13:13Because this is the foundation
13:14Of their life that they're building
13:16I just hope
13:21The ones that we have helped
13:22That they're not going backwards right now
13:27This is the cross-country course
13:35A lot of people won't practice
13:39Unless they have something structured
13:40For them to do
13:41I'm guilty of this too
13:43So
13:44I haven't really been working out
13:47Sadly
13:48I was just trying to like
13:50Get my life together
13:52I usually like to use my planner
13:55To keep it organized
13:55I have not touched my planner
13:57In a while
13:58Man
14:00It's
14:01Kind of been a little bit tough
14:03Athletics is such an important part
14:10Of a kid's life
14:11Because it teaches them
14:13You know, time management
14:14And goal setting
14:15And planning
14:18And beyond just being a student
14:20That makes them an effective adult
14:23And they miss out on that
14:29Anyway, so we want to get our students
14:33Back in the classroom
14:34But it's not just being back in the classroom
14:36It's, you know, the social aspect of things
14:40Some kids come from, like, bad homes
14:43Or, like, me going to practice
14:46Is the only place where
14:47I feel, like, normal
14:49That ability to connect with an adult
14:52And their friends
14:52And those kind of things
14:53Yeah, those are real
14:55Like, a lot of people
14:58Were checked out completely
14:59Don't care about
15:01What else is going on
15:02On our campus
15:03I was, like, this close to getting there
15:05But I can't do that
15:07So
15:07Gotta keep hope
15:09Hopefully something changes
15:11I really do
15:12I'm really hoping
15:22With, like, the whole vaccine rollout
15:24And stuff like that
15:25That life can be better
15:28In every corner of the country
15:33Americans have been rolling up their sleeves today
15:36Once we get enough people
15:38To get this vaccinated
15:39We can kiss COVID goodbye
15:41By the end of the week
15:442.9 million doses will arrive
15:46At 636 locations in all 50 states
15:49The president's saying
15:50We could be back to some kind of normal
15:52By the 4th of July
15:53Starting April 1st
15:54All Californians aged 50 and over
15:56Will become eligible for vaccinations
15:58Then on April 15th
16:00It extends to everyone 16 and over
16:02So this is great news
16:03For this age group
16:04And the community
16:05Exactly one year after the pandemic
16:10Upended life as we knew it
16:12President Biden now laying out a roadmap
16:14For a return to something a lot closer to normal
16:18Hi ladies
16:21Hi
16:22How's it going?
16:23Good
16:24Good, good
16:25Feeling well
16:26Are you getting like waves of people?
16:28It's not a
16:29How's it?
16:29Yeah
16:30They're starting to come a little bit more often
16:33Okay
16:33They're just waking up too
16:35Remember that?
16:35But you know what?
16:36They're excited to see us
16:37Oh
16:37They're so excited
16:39See the next car that pulls up
16:40They just smile so big
16:42We need to be back open
16:44Because there were some traditions
16:47They don't
16:48They didn't get this year
16:50My seniors
16:51I want to do that tunnel
16:53Oh yeah
16:54So they come through
16:55And we can just cheer them on
16:56Wouldn't that be amazing?
16:58Let me do something again
16:59I want to do something
17:01I have to do something
17:02They can't have nothing
17:04Their whole year
17:05I need as much as them
17:07Oh look at that smile
17:09She's like
17:09Hey
17:10Hi sweetie

17:19She's all good
17:20Okay
17:20Stay safe
17:21She's still in the house
17:22Oh you caught it for a little bit
17:25Okay
17:26But you're doing good
17:26Obviously
17:27It was just amazing
17:29To see a kid
17:30Did something to me
17:31That made me just go
17:32Oh my god
17:33I miss these kids
17:33Who knew I would miss them like that?
17:37Oh god
17:38I don't know
17:38Are we going to pick up
17:40Like our diplomas
17:40Or
17:41If we're still virtual
17:42And the numbers aren't down
17:43It'll be drive-thru
17:44What would happen
17:45Is you come in your car
17:45One car per family
17:47And then we'll call your name
17:48Popping circumstance going on
17:50And we just handed you a diploma
17:51And you get to take a picture too
17:52We have
17:53We've seen a lot of false starts
17:58Senior pictures are off site
18:01We won't know if we can do prom for sure
18:05Bye there
18:05Bye
18:06So there's a lot
18:08So there's a lot
18:08That students are missing out
18:10On in their senior year
18:12Hi sweetie
18:13Hi
18:14Can I see
18:15I don't know who's under the mask
18:16Can I see your face

18:24Come back
18:24I'm not hugging you
18:25Come on
18:26Hi sweetie
18:28Bye
18:29I might be contacting you
18:30Okay bye
18:31No I will contact you
18:32You can't
18:35I know you can't help it
18:36Here sanitize
18:39They sit around being told
18:43Oh maybe next month
18:45Oh maybe next month
18:46That wears you down
18:48I know they need us
18:49Alright you guys
18:50Bye
18:51See you later
18:52Alright
18:56Good morning
18:57Good morning
18:58Good morning
18:58Did you want to start
19:00Or do you want me to jump in
19:01I mean I can just kind of go through
19:03What the plan is
19:04For the next couple of weeks here
19:06Yeah
19:06This upcoming Thursday
19:08We can have a next steps
19:10For senior parents workshop
19:11To complete their fast applications
19:14And make sure we try and get
19:16As close to 100%
19:17You know
19:18Financial aid completion
19:20As possible
19:20It's going to be a little bit different
19:22Obviously virtually
19:23Because I can't go around
19:24To every student
19:25And help them out
19:26Whenever they have a question
19:27That I'm still trying to brainstorm
19:28What that will look like
19:29Very busy
19:31A couple of weeks
19:32I want you to tell me
19:34When it's a lot
19:35When it's too much
19:36Okay
19:36And you and I know
19:38What's going on
19:39With distance learning
19:40Usually by now
19:42Our kids would have gone
19:43To several schools
19:44To visit
19:44Or we would have had
19:45Speakers come in
19:46To talk about their colleges
19:48Financial aid
19:49But we're missing out
19:51On all of that
19:52But if we can bring it
19:54To our families
19:55I think that'll be
19:56Really helpful
19:56Is there anything else?
20:03Is any
20:04Talk about
20:06When school
20:06Is going to
20:07Start up again
20:09Okay
20:09Well as far as I know
20:12April 17th
20:13Is when we
20:14Re-evaluate
20:15And kids are coming
20:16Back again
20:17Okay you folks
20:19I have nothing else
20:20And if we don't
20:21We'll talk to you later
20:22Sounds good
20:24Thank you
20:24Bye bye
20:26You're welcome
20:27Bye bye
20:28Bye bye
20:29Bye
20:29Hello hello
20:35Do you have a second?
20:36I do
20:36For sure
20:36For sure
20:37The stay at home order
20:40It was supposed to be
20:41Lifted at noon today
20:42Okay
20:43So as soon as
20:44I get a chance to see
20:45That the stay at home
20:46Order has been lifted
20:47We can discuss
20:48Whether or not
20:49We can get back
20:50Into pods
20:50And start practices
20:52That'd be great
20:53That's a step in the right direction
20:54Let me see if
20:54Actually did
20:55Let's see
20:56Effective immediately
20:59All the regions
21:00In the state of California
21:02Are no longer
21:03In the stay at home order
21:05Alright
21:05Fine
21:06He did
21:06That's good
21:07We're seeing a flattening
21:08Of the curve
21:08Case rates
21:09Positivity rates
21:10So there's a step
21:11In the right direction
21:12And that gets us
21:13Four sports
21:14Alright
21:14It's better than nothing
21:16But we are not
21:17Out of the woods
21:18Hey we still getting
21:23To play football
21:24So it is what it is
21:25Yeah it's been
21:28Over a year
21:29Since last football season
21:30You need to go to
21:32The Deer Valley website
21:33And then sign up
21:35For football there
21:36And you'll be allowed
21:37To practice
21:38So they sent out
21:40All the emails
21:41To our parents
21:41I'm ready
21:43I can't wait
21:45Excited
21:48When I tell you
21:48I have been
21:49Constantly texting
21:50Ebby and our other friend
21:52Kind of gives you
21:56Like some type
21:57Of sense of normalcy
21:58That you know
21:58Not everything is
21:59Like horrible
22:00In the world
22:00You know
22:01My school's so empty
22:16I have hand sanitizer
22:20And the whole shebang
22:21You're cold
22:23You're 96.8
22:24In the beginning
22:26I'm just going to
22:27Give them a quick
22:27Pep talk
22:28And let them know
22:29Things can still change
22:32If things get worse
22:34In the outside world
22:35It'll put a stopper
22:36On everything
22:37I'm glad to be back
22:40I'll just say that
22:40They really need it
22:43This morning
22:46I woke up really early
22:47Because I've had
22:48My cheer backpack
22:49And like my stuff
22:51Laid out
22:52Since like Monday
22:53She always says
22:54Outside
22:55But it's never outside
22:56Right now
22:57I'm wearing my warm ups
22:58Me and Ebby
22:59Hopefully she's wearing hers
23:00And then our other friend
23:02Danielle
23:02We're all planning on matching
23:03I love track
23:07But I love cheer
23:08Just a tiny bit more
23:10It's never a bad day
23:14At cheer
23:14There's Louisa
23:18I'm gonna stop it
23:21Senior season
23:26Senior season
23:28And then
23:29To do a half time
23:33To do a senior night
23:35That's what we're planning
23:35No one has stopped me yet
23:36Hi kiddos
23:39That's who it is
23:40Hopefully it'll just be smooth
23:43And we're all happy
23:44To see each other
23:44Okay
23:45The hardest part
23:47Is to not hug
23:48And scream
23:48That's gonna be the hardest part
23:56No phones
24:01No purses
24:02No nothing on you
24:04Yes
24:05Keep your water bottle
24:06Because I can't provide water
24:08This is what we knew
24:10Two weeks ago
24:11I don't expect miracles
24:14But they should know their stuff
24:15Because they're strong
24:16Athletes
24:17We have to know everything
24:19Like yesterday
24:20Because
24:21The games are starting
24:24In just a couple weeks
24:25You guys got something?
24:27Win baby
24:28Yes
24:29Football's not my main sport
24:33But they ruled out
24:35Indoor sports
24:36Like basketball
24:36I'm a natural athlete
24:39So like
24:40It feels good
24:41To be out there
24:42Playing
24:42I'm gonna do it
24:44For Coach Rube
24:45Got to
24:48Last time guys
24:55Can we do it right?
24:56I play corner
24:57And I play right receiver
24:58And then I do like
24:59Special teams
25:00And stuff like that
25:00Hold it up
25:01Let's try it
25:01Come on man
25:02I feel great
25:03To be out there
25:03On the wall
25:04He's got speed
25:08He's got athleticism
25:09I love coaching him
25:11I love coaching him
25:12Let's go
25:12Let's go
25:13Let's go
25:13Let's go
25:14Let's go
25:15I want you to be smart
25:17You're a smart guy right?
25:19Yeah I'm pretty smart
25:19If you can kick it
25:20Please kick it
25:21But if you can't
25:22Then you gotta make a play
25:23Out of it
25:23Alright
25:23I think if he really
25:25Put his all into football
25:26He could have a bright future
25:28Oh good one
25:30That's perfect
25:32But he's been kind of
25:34Treating this as a side
25:35Side dish
25:36You know
25:36Not the main entree
25:37It's real important
25:40That you guys stay focused
25:42Can you do this?
25:43Can you pull this off?
25:45We're gonna run into the tech center you
25:47And then back around twice
25:49Why Abbie not in the front?
25:52What's going on?
25:53Shut up kidding
25:54Actually that was my whole issue
25:56From the very beginning
25:57If I coach
25:59You are not gonna be
26:00Just a cute girl in a skirt
26:02That's all that
26:03Last time
26:04Switch it
26:05Get those elbows out
26:06We adjourned, we adjourned
26:08I'm not going
26:08I'm in here
26:09I'm in here
26:09When everybody came out
26:11Everybody was like
26:12A little chubby and stuff
26:13They had to get back in shape
26:15Because they've all been
26:16Sitting at home and stuff
26:17You do school by yourself
26:20You're at home by yourself
26:22So like it felt good
26:23To like be around
26:24All my teammates and stuff
26:25So we can all encourage each other
26:27To get through all that
26:27I mean the coaches are hard on us
26:38Tonight get to bed early
26:40But they've got to do their job
26:42So we can play
26:43To our best abilities
26:45One, two, three
26:46Win!
26:47It's always been a battle
26:48To prove what we are
26:50Or ignore
26:52What they say out there
26:55You know you always hear like
26:59Oh Deer Valley
27:00They're not that good
27:01Like even my
27:03My aunties
27:04They went to Deer Valley
27:05Their friends went to Deer Valley
27:07And like their friends
27:08Will always say
27:08Like you're going to join
27:09Their cheer team
27:10Like why are you
27:10Trying off their cheer team
27:11It's not that good
27:12And I'm like
27:13I like it
27:14Who's got the beat
27:17Even though cheering
27:18For a winning team
27:19Is always the best thing
27:20But like
27:22If you're playing for
27:23Owen Chin School
27:23And nobody's looking
27:24In your direction
27:25There was a stretch
27:36Of about ten years
27:38Where this was the place
27:40We beat a lot of people
27:43That doesn't happen anymore
27:46Well what's the rule
27:49The rule is
27:50It takes seven positive messages
27:52To counteract one negative
27:54So you know
27:56We don't
27:57We're not able to get out
28:00Enough positive messages
28:02To counteract the flow
28:03Of negativity
28:04They're right over there
28:06So they can hear you
28:09When you're yelling it
28:09So beat the lions
28:11We have so much talent
28:15That goes through our school
28:16You have to have faith
28:18In your team
28:19Do that one again
28:20Who are you yelling for
28:23Dear Maui
28:24Wolverine
28:25And I said
28:26You just keep practicing
28:27You keep focusing
28:28You do what you need to do
28:29And rise above it
28:30Because you are better
28:32Than what they think
28:34Everybody wants to beat
28:53Dear Valley
28:53Hey Jay
28:55Any sport
28:57It doesn't even matter
28:58Girl
28:58I got like
29:00Three more in the house
29:01So the games are going to be fun
29:03And just light me up
29:06A little match
29:07Today is the first
29:10Home football game
29:11Of the season
29:12We are going to be going
29:13Against Antioch High
29:15And as far as
29:16I've been on the team
29:17You know
29:17All my four years
29:18We never won
29:19Against Antioch
29:20We like not to say
29:22Their name
29:23The word Antioch
29:24Is a bad word
29:25So we call them
29:27The other team
29:27I know we can get
29:30A couple of wins in
29:31I'm really excited
29:35To get back out there
29:36And be cheering
29:37We love to be
29:38Oh my god
29:39Alright everybody
29:41Touch somebody
29:42This is our first
29:44Home game too
29:44So it's so much
29:46Hey you guys have had
29:47A hard week of practice
29:48Am I lying?
29:50Just a moment of silence
29:51I'm not
29:53Go time!

30:17Having victory
30:18Once we can
30:19Clue the first
30:21Real
30:251-די
30:26First half, tons of mistakes, man.
30:29They're a little emotional, so we had to kind of calm them down
30:32and just play football, that's all.
30:34We'll be ready, man. We'll be ready for the second half.
30:36We're on the TV, Wolverine to one, knock you out!
30:41Passing three to Felder, number seven, across the district.
30:48Touchdown, Wolverine.
30:50There's a flag back at the Wolverine 30-0 line.
30:56Get in the excellent field position for the Panthers as they come back on.
31:13Get in! Get in!
31:15Touchdown, Panthers!
31:19The RDB's better wake up!
31:23Touchdown, Panthers!
31:25For the Wolverine, now into Tampa territory.
31:2913, to all young girls!
31:32I'm here to flag on the flag.
31:35Oh, my hand.
31:36You got a kick for him, man.
31:39Go, sir!
31:40Yeah, we got a kick.
31:42I mean, I do it.
31:45The Wolverine will be a repeat of 14-0.
31:51Give me a second.
31:53Oh, my God!
31:55Breathe in and out.
31:57Yeah, it's the same leg.
31:58It's the same leg.
31:59In the nose.
32:00Here and left!
32:02We need a straight shot!
32:04And that's the turnover line down.
32:06Yeah, I think the lead sucks.
32:10Yeah, I think the lead sucks.
32:11Yeah, I think the lead sucks.
32:13Yeah, I think the lead sucks.
32:14Yeah, I think the lead sucks.
32:15Come on!
32:16Let's go, D!
32:17Come on!
32:18Come on!
32:19Come on!
32:20Touchdown, Panthers.
32:23And ladies and gentlemen, that will do it for the Japanese contest between the visiting
32:32Antioch Panthers and their home New Valley Wolverines.
32:35Panthers prevailing 20-0.
32:38The kids are trying to figure out how to be a team.
32:43You know, these guys have been on their own, living in their own house, where they haven't
32:48really had to worry about anybody else.
32:51This is actually a very good life lesson for them.
32:55We've got to roll with the punches.
32:57You've got to go for it.
32:59Don't wait for something to happen for you.
33:02You guys gave up?
33:03Go coach!
33:04Go coach!
33:05Go coach!
33:06Make sure you go home.
33:07You stretch.
33:08Ice.
33:09Hydrate.
33:10Take care of your bodies.
33:11All right, everybody?
33:12Let's go!
33:13I don't know.
33:15I don't know.
33:17I don't know.
33:18I don't know.
33:19I don't know.
33:20I don't know.
33:21I don't know.
33:22It was a frustrating time for coaches and players.
33:25I don't know.
33:26I don't know.
33:27I don't know.
33:28I don't know.
33:29I don't know.
33:30I don't know.
33:31I don't know.
33:32High school kids are the forgotten child.
33:35They may be six feet tall.
33:38They may look grown up and in some ways are mature, but they're still a child.
33:44They still have worries.
33:45They still have wants.
33:48It's that we've got to find tools for them.
33:53I'm trying to keep track of all of my students, trying to make sure I don't lose any of them.
34:22Sending text messages to check in on them, see where they're at.
34:27I had tried to reach out to Emily a few times, especially because at the time she hadn't gotten back to me.
34:32But I also try to do this from a place of, like, understanding students are going through things.
34:41For Emily, she was already, like, struggling.
34:47So I think that the pandemic just, like, pushed it to another level.
34:51It just kind of put her in this, like, deep hole.
34:55I had seen some things that I was just, in my head, I was like, she's not okay.
35:00She wasn't going to class and not really paying attention.
35:05I was like, you told me that you wanted to do good this year, so, like, why aren't we, you know?
35:10And she's just like, what's the point?
35:12But I never really thought that, you know, she would act on anything.
35:20I thought that we were close enough to where she could tell me.
35:27The fact that these are teenagers is, I think, it impacts whether or not they reach out to you.
35:43Emily did end up getting back to me, and we had a conversation where she was able to be really vulnerable
35:51and tell me some of the things that was going on in her life.
35:57I just, I felt like everything in my life was wrong.
36:02In my eyes, like, I just wanted to rest and not worry about anything.
36:10I didn't want to keep going.
36:13I ended up trying to overdose on pills and sleeping medication.
36:31No salt?
36:33No, I would do salt.
36:34It was just a moment of weakness that I never thought I would get to.
36:37Okay.
36:40And it made me feel like, where did we all go wrong?
36:48We all know the stress of everything that was the shelter in place.
36:53And then on top of that stress, the pressure of doing well academically hit her kind of hard, too.
37:06That stifled a lot of her plans and her goals.
37:09I wasn't that student anymore.
37:14Here I was, like, failing all my classes.
37:18I didn't see any future for myself.
37:21In my head, I was like, if I don't succeed now, I'm never going to amount to anything.
37:27I just tried to offer my support and ask her what she needed from me.
37:39He just assured me that he was going to find me resources.
37:42It was just really comforting to hear from Mr. Cam.
37:47You know, just reassuring me that I wasn't, like, a failure.
37:50I wasn't letting him down.
37:52So, we decided that, you know, trying to graduate was going to be my goal of this year.
37:57You know, wanting to graduate and wanting to, like, pass that milestone, it's something that I look forward to.
38:24It's really early to be hearing back from schools.
38:45Probably in the next month and a half.
38:47Close your eyes. Get really strong through your legs. Ground.
38:56I think we're supposed to be hearing back from the UCs at the end of this month.
39:01It's going to take a minute, but I just want to hear back from all the schools that I've applied to before I make any decisions.
39:09So, within these next two weeks, we'll be finding out, like, our answers. So, we're scared.
39:18Topics are still the same three.
39:20USC, Arizona State, and Howard.
39:22So, I'm just waiting to see what those schools say.
39:31And, like, especially the uncertainty of where I'm going to get accepted and, like, where I'm going to be in the future is scary, but at the same time, really exciting.
39:43And then release out through the mouth.
39:49Hey, guys.
39:51Ebi here.
39:53And I just came to let y'all know, voting for a homecoming theme has begun.
39:57Yes, homecoming is late. Very late.
40:00But it's happening. So, make sure you vote. Make sure you participate.
40:04Thank you. It's appreciated.
40:05It's appreciated.
40:07Let's get right into the news.
40:09Homecoming is still on.
40:11Leadership needs your help on deciding on the 2021 homecoming theme.
40:14Leadership is planning to celebrate the 2021 homecoming court virtually with exciting video submissions and capping off the homecoming week with a socially distanced crowd event.
40:23Congratulations, spring honor roll students.
40:25This is Friday.
40:26Leadership would like to celebrate all Wolverines who made honor roll this spring during distance learning.
40:30There will be a drive-through gift pickup to celebrate all honor students.
40:33Have a week.
40:35So, we're voting for the theme of homecoming.
40:41Last year's theme was, it was the seasons. I thought that was pretty lame.
40:48Usually we have the winter ball and then we have a homecoming game and then prom.
40:55This is a conference and we're here to provide you with the names of the top 15 reveal for homecoming king and queen.
41:01I think last year, I think everyone had voted to just have a homecoming.
41:07Davian Tobal Reyes and Javonte Sellers. Congratulations.
41:15It's cool to see like that many people by my school like genuinely like me as a person.
41:20It means I'm doing something right when it comes to like my character.
41:22Thank you to everyone that nominated and just voted for me.
41:26Hope you guys have a good one. Stay safe and make sure to wear your mask, okay?
41:29Make sure to wear your mask. Stay safe.
41:32I appreciate the school for trying, but it can be the same.
41:37But like, it's better than nothing honestly.
41:39Cause we've been out of school for so long.
41:45And we lost her scissors.
41:49Tomorrow night is senior night.
41:55Take a knee real quick guys. Real, real, real quick.
41:58It's our last game of season.
41:59It's our last time going over everything.
42:04So be focused.
42:06You guys get what I'm saying?
42:07Yeah.
42:08Especially during the pandemic.
42:09We got enough going on already.
42:11One, two, three.
42:13Win!
42:14This is the biggest one.
42:15It's, it's hopeful that this is our year.
42:25We've been waiting for this.
42:29So we got to go out and win.
42:31I mean, we never win homecoming.
42:34That's kind of sad.
42:35You know, it's your homecoming game and you don't win.
42:38Oh yeah.
42:39Nobody's going to be over here excited to cheer for you.
42:41If you guys are going to blown out 50 to zero.
42:43Like, and it's not even like one game.
42:45It happened like no consistently.
42:55Honestly, they try.
42:56They put in the work, the practice, the time, all of that.
42:59And I feel like at the end of the day, that's what matters.
43:13If any, any issues of kids hanging out, they've got to go.
43:21It's still going to be limited capacity because of Corona.
43:23And it's extremely weird, but it's also exciting too.
43:27In homecoming, it's a time to be celebrating with their seniors.
43:30Oh, that is so beautiful.

44:51Let's go.
44:52Let's go.
44:54One more time.
44:55Make some noise for the wonderful seniors.
44:58All that they've accomplished so far.
45:00And for all that they're going to do out in this beautiful world.
45:04Thank you so much.
45:06Oh, yeah.
45:07Yeah.
45:09Yeah.
45:10Yeah.
45:11Yeah.
45:12Yeah.
45:13Yeah.
45:14Yeah.
45:18First down.
45:19Four of the Falcons.
45:27Touchdown, Falcons.
45:29Who's got the beat?
45:41The Wolverines got the beat.
45:42And when the Wolverines got the beat, that was open.
45:47Second score of the Tottenham for the Falcons.
45:59That's the second time, too.
46:17I mean, that was obvious.
46:18Oh, no, I don't even know what we're supposed to do.
46:32How are you doing?
46:34Good.
46:34Oh, last night?
46:36It was really good.
46:38It was really good.
46:38We had 30, 40?
46:43Okay.
46:44It was really good.
46:44A lot of parent engagement, so it was really good.
46:48All right, let's go, DJ.
46:52Let's go!
46:56Touch the world.
46:58Let's go!
47:11Go, shield.
47:11Go, black.
47:13One, two, three.
47:14The Wolverines on the tag.
47:16Go, shield.
47:17Go, black.
47:18Last time!
47:20Yeah, I'm excited.
47:22You mean different as far as college admissions, though?
47:25They were super competitive.
47:27I don't know if you saw, but there were more applications this year.
47:31Uh-huh. And a lot of kids on the waiting list.
47:34Yeah. A lot of rejections.
47:35I was really surprised.
47:37What happened this year?
47:39I don't know. I don't know.
47:42You know what I think, though?
47:44I think the majority of kids are focused on the same universes.
47:50Inside the 10-yard line, first down.
48:05All right, I'm going to go back there and recover.
48:08Be your principal.
48:10Make sure you stay in touch.
48:11Oh, yeah.
48:12In the first half, Wolverine played in the season of the 21st one.
48:18Hey, Mr. Cameron.
48:20Woo! Woo! Woo!
48:23Keep that Wolverine spirit up!
48:25Keep that Wolverine spirit up!
48:27Are you fired up?
48:29And that's correct.
48:30Do you have fired up?
48:31Fire up!
48:32Fire up!
48:33Fire up!
48:34That very good job, it's pretty good.

48:47Nice and easy, good to see you guys.
49:08Nice and easy, good to see you guys.
49:14Let's go, let's go, quick, quick, quick.
49:43One, two, three, Tigers!
49:45They need you guys, go back out there.
49:47Come on, kiddos!
49:48Fuck, fuck, fuck!
49:50Dig in the game!
49:52Let's go!
49:53Dig in the game!
49:56We called that line!
49:58Dig in the game!
50:00Touchdown, Falcons!
50:02Oh, my God!
50:04Are you serious?
50:06Nice and easy attention, you guys.
50:09Good luck, guys.
50:10Let's go!
50:11Oh!
50:12Oh!
50:13Oh, my God!
50:14Oh, my God!
50:15And this is my love!
50:16Oh!
50:17Oh, my God!
50:18Good luck, guys!
50:19Oh, my God!
50:20And this is my big challenge for us!
50:22Just shy of the 35-yard line, it's going to be fourth and short now for the evaluation.
50:52It's going to be about a minute to me, and I'll be pretty terrified.
51:22That's the pick.
51:52It was like 12 seconds left in the game, final touchdown, six seconds left.
52:15You just have to believe, like, that's what happens when you don't give up.
52:18Like, you see, like, things like that can happen.
52:20We might not have got all the wins that we wanted to, but that last win meant something.
52:26I'm super excited about, like, that experience for the kids, and, you know, we enjoyed ourselves, too.
52:33But also just seeing my kids in person, I haven't seen them in over a year.
52:44That was a good game. Y'all got the dub.
52:47How are you? I'm good. I'm good.
52:49How are you feeling?
52:52All right, we'll catch y'all next time.
52:54Bye, you guys.
52:55Bye, guys.
52:56This is it for Cadence and Ebi, for, you know, Ahmaud. It was their last time underneath the bright lights. And I'm happy it ended the way it did.
53:13And I'm happy it ended the way it did.
53:20And I'm happy it ended the way it did.
53:21And I'm happy it ended the way it did.
53:25Oh, my God.
53:55Oh, my goodness.
54:05Wow.
54:25Oh, my goodness.
54:35Oh, my goodness.
54:39Oh, my goodness.
54:41Oh, my goodness.
