Spring 2024

Super Bowl

By Julie Flores

Let me hear a Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! On February 11, 2024 the 57th Superbowl was played in Las Vegas, Nevada. The game was between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. Will the 49ers win their rematch against the Chiefs? Or will the Chiefs continue to be the dominant team? This game would define who would win the most anticipated Vince Lombardi trophy.

In the 2nd quarter of the Super Bowl, the 49ers kicked the ball, making them score 3 points. In the second and 10th quarter, the 49ers scored a touchdown by Christian McCaffrey, scoring 7 points. In the second quarter 4th and 6th, the Chiefs kicked the ball, scoring 3 points. In the third quarter 4th and 6th, the Chiefs kicked the ball, scoring 3 points. The scoreboard at halftime was 10-6.

Halftime show!!! The halftime show was performed by Usher. He had other guest stars appear with him at the show, such as Alicia Keys, Ludacris, H.E.R., will.i.am, Lil John and Jermaine Dupri. Usher sang along to some of his biggest hits, such as “Yeah” and “OMG”. His superbowl is one to be remembered, with good choreography and guest stars. That’s the end of the halftime show, now back to the game!

In the third quarter 1st and 10th, the Chiefs scored a touchdown by Valdes-Scantling and scored 7 points including the kick. At the 4th quarter almost coming to an end, the 49ers scored a touchdown and scored 6 points since the Chiefs defense blocked the bonus point from scoring. At the 4th quarter, 4th and goal the Chiefs kicked the ball and scored 3 more points. Now the leaderboard was 16-16; it was a tie. In the 4th quarter, 4th and 4 the 49ers kicked the ball, scoring 3 points, and the 49ers were in the lead. At the 4th quarter 2nd and 10, the Chiefs scored a kick and now the game was again a tie. At the extra time 4th and 4, the 49ers kicked the ball and scored 3 points. At the 1st and goal, the Chiefs scored a touchdown at the last 3 seconds of the game by Melcole Hardman, thanks to the pass by Patrick Mahomes. This led to the scoreboard being 22-25 which the Chiefs again became the champions. Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs! The 49ers played a good game, and they  should also be recognized for a great season they had. 🐾
