The Humphrey Herald

“The Colts are gonna win. Period,” bluntly stated senior Kolby Matheny. Super Bowl XLIV brought out some strong feelings from Campbell County High School students. The duel was between the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. The two teams remained unbeaten until the last weeks of the regular season.
CCHS students had their predictions. “Obviously the Saints are going to win because they have God on their side,” joked senior Emily Schroeder.
“The Saints are going to win because Drew Brees is a good quarterback,” added sophomore Coleton Mckensey.
Junior Ezra Coleman said, “Saints, because they’re underdogs and they have more to play for.” New Orleans suffered the tragic Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The team has been working its way to the top ever since.
A recent poll on www.humphreyherald.com asked, “Who do you think will win the Super Bowl?” and nearly 130 voters had an opinion. With 53% of the votes, New Orleans was leading. Indianapolis closely trailed with 47%.
The voters were correct. The New Orleans Saints came out on top with a score of 21-17. There was more to the game than the score itself, though.
When asked what his favorite part of the game was, math teacher Bertine Bahige said, “The best part was the little smokies and family time.” The Super Bowl was a hard fought battle both ways, but some felt the Saints earned it since they had never been to a Super Bowl. “This is the first time for them to win.” Bahige added, “They deserved it, to make their city proud.”
Junior Keith Krajnik said, “The best part was that Drew Brees got the MVP trophy.” The quarterback deserved the trophy in most peoples’ eyes. Whatever your view of the Super Bowl XLIV may be, it is apparent that New Orleans earned the win.
