On Friday, Feb. 7, Manual hosted its 2020 basketball homecoming pep rally. Highlights included the Dazzler’s cutting-edge performance, the step team’s colorful and entertaining number and the introduction of the homecoming court. Also notably, the unified basketball team showed out for a scrimmage that had the entire gym cheering them on. In a surprising turn of events, the sophomores won the spirit stick in a duel against the seniors.

Then, that night, both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams faced Central. The girls won 49-41 and the boys won 86-63.
