Manual wrapped up their much anticipated Red/White Week with a pep rally to get pumped up for the Male v. Manual game on Friday.

This is the longest and most exciting pep rally for students and faculty at Manual.

The pep rally started at 12:58 and students joined in to sing the national anthem.


Things started off with a relay race win by the seniors and the sophomores taking the win for the pie-eating contest.

Zube’s speech led to the cheerleaders leading the students in chants which started off the traditional Red/White cheers among the classes.
