MARCH MADNESS UPDATE:
The back half of the Sweet Sixteen featured dominant performances, close calls, and one come-from-behind victory on the back of strong campaign contributions. The Principals put up a good fight in their first tournament appearance, but 3-seed Mr. Palfey advanced from the mini-region, pulling his first upset of the tournament over 2-seed Mr. Neely.
8-seed Alyssa Hetrick is the official #slayqueen of the English Department, and she’ll move on to face everyone’s favorite Bio teacher Mrs. Partsch. Last but not least: the Mrs. Cron Mrs. Palfey contest was a photo finish! Mrs. Cron edged out the popular vote, but based on the strength of record campaign contributions from her loyal students, Mrs. Palfey triumphed in the end! Now you Teens know how real elections are won.This sets up an epic Palfey vs. Palfey Elite Eight showdown for the ages, with only one moving on to the Final Four.
The Elite Eight takes place entirely today, with the Final Four tomorrow!
Now that you see your donations can swing the vote, give generously to your favorite teacher, and the Altoona Food Bank!
