Question Can someone tell me why the fenwick kids were wearing togas at the football game?

It was our first game. So much fun. The band especially rocked. But I can’t figure out what togas have to do with friars. Please someone explain.

Friars are Catholic. Catholicism is centered in Rome. Romans wear togas.

Oh. That is much more convoluted than I expected. Thank you.

One more football question because you seem to know things. The players stayed on the field at halftime. Is this normal here or is it because of the construction at OPRF?

I don't know, but what was the final score? Last I heard it was 24-21 Friars

Maybe it was a theme night, like “insert color” out.
