Ruff N’ Tuff is a way to gain points for field day and show school pride for the different classes in TRHS. The volleyball games consist of only boys and the aim is to gain as many points as possible so that they win. If they win then it will gain them more points that can contribute towards their win in field day. This year was interesting, as the uniforms that the players wore were made by other students and looked phenomenal, and everyone gave it their all. Almost every year, the students make the uniforms, but this year they looked better. 

Since the freshmen and juniors were fighting against the sophomores and seniors, there were two winners in Ruff N’ Tuff. The freshman played 3 games against the sophomores and the juniors played 2 games against the seniors. It was held in the large gym and lasted for a total of 2 hours including the celebration afterward. 

Everyone played their best and it was a close score between the freshmen and the sophomores with the freshmen beating the sophomores 2 games to 1. Spiking the ball was the freshmen’s ace as most of them were very tall. The gym got very loud and rowdy when the freshmen won, as it was very unexpected since they were the underclassmen. Next, the juniors played against the seniors. Their games lasted longer so they were only able to play 2 games, and the seniors won both of those games. The juniors’ were unorganized and this was their downfall as the seniors were organized and working together, but they still put up a good fight.

Overall, Ruff N’ Tuff ended well, with the sophomores getting one point and seniors getting 2 points for field day. The excitement from the crowd at the end of the event made it that much more enjoyable, and the teams all played their best.
