Issue #7 The Peanut Gallery: A rowdy crew gives the inside scoop on Mira Costa athletics

A couple of nutty boys (Noah Bell, Ben Gibbons, Ian Lockwood, Max Rosenberg) make up the Peanut Gallery, a quintet that cracks down on Costa issues and athletics. Please take all criticism with a grain of salt; it is just for fun.

How is it going, fellow Mustangs? Welcome back to the latest installment of La Vista’s Peanut Gallery. This month has provided us with sensational buzz about campus and student trends, spanning from ASB’s latest dance, Costa’s greatest test of knowledge and the trendiest new student addictions (surprise: they are not a new flavor of Juul pods).

Let’s get right to the action: as the winter season comes to end, the spring teams march onto the battlefield and refresh our hopes of a CIF title. Boys tennis and baseball are off to great starts going undefeated so far in their seasons.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                . Unsurprisingly, our Lax bros are off to a shaky start, as they’ve allowed over 30 points across two losses. Yikes. But do not worry, the season is still young and their CIF hopes are still alive.

As many of you know, it’s the time of year where guys get to sit back and relax, and let the ladies come to them. That’s right, guys. The Sadies dance is right around the corner. Although we at the Gallery love the concept of the dance, our analysis revealed a general loss in interest over time. According to our lead investigators, boys have chosen to decline dance invites from girls because “the squad wants to land at Tilted.” We at the Gallery believe that spending a night playing “Fortnite” with the boys is vastly better than interacting with the opposite gender.

This brings us to our main topic: “Fortnite: Battle Royale.” The game has left the Costa population in an uproar. The greatest game of all time has proven to be significantly more important than all homework and studying. Teachers take note; a decrease in grades is most likely due to students prioritizing “Fortinite” over your class. The aspects of a 100 player PvP and a desire to get a “dub” creates an inhumane craving to win. If you aren’t watching Ninja, Drake, Travis Scott and Juju Smith play ing together on Youtube, then what are you really doing with your life?

In other exciting news, it’s the MUN kids’, favorite time of the year. Scholar Quiz gave them a chance to show how much smarter they are than you. Seniors, don’t worry if you lost to freshmen. You’ll get into college anyway. We’d like to give a shoutout to Tommy Kelleher and Co. for snubbing Peter Lu in the finals.

Thanks for the continued support Mustangs. We hope you have a wild time at Sadies and a wonderful spring break. Ladies, please don’t feel the need to post all of your best pictures from Cabo San Lucas. One will be just fine. Best of luck to all seniors on colleges acceptances. No matter what happens, never forget that fact that you were an honor roll student at MBMS. That’s all, and remember to stay on that “Fortnite” grind.
