If you haven’t already heard the North High School versus South High School football game has been moved from Friday, October 31st to Thursday, October 30th because Halloween is on the 31st. I asked a few students how they felt about this change.
Not everyone thinks that this change is a bad idea. Natalie Thoss, a freshman, said, “I love that because I want to celebrate Halloween.” Elise Kusold, a sophomore, also liked this and said, “Good idea because you can do something fun on Thursday and Friday” which is true because Halloween is on a Friday which means a lot of Halloween parties.
However others think it is a bad idea because school nights mean they can't stay the entire game. Danny Pawolski, a freshman said, “Keep it on Friday. It goes too late at night to have it on a school night." Austin Kidwell, a sophomore, thought that it was just bad in general, “I think it is a bad idea and we should stick to having the game Friday.”
Changing the date so no one will miss the game due to trick or treating is understandable. However, high school students do not usually go trick or treating. They should have changed the game to Saturday so students could have parties after the games. There is a bigger turn out for the North v. South game than any others but this year people won't be able to make it because they need to go to bed early. They should change it to Saturday or just cancel school on Halloween.
