The Classic was there to film the match. You can watch the moment that the team won in the video clip above.

Last year, the team made it to the semifinals but ultimately lost to Metropolitan Campus High School. This year, the girls beat Metropolitan Campus in the semifinals, advancing to today’s final championship match.

About the Contributor

Ryan Chen, Editor-in-Chief

Ryan is a junior at Townsend Harris High School, and he plans to pursue a career in business/finance. He enjoys taking photos but wants to improve at “making” photos. His favorite Classic project he worked on is the 2025 FON Saturday night live stream. He will forever remember the moment the song “Dynamite” started playing during the intro segment. After technical difficulties on Friday night, hearing that intro song and knowing that things were working came as a huge relief. His favorite Classic piece created by others is the video “High School Teachers Define Gen Z Slang.” He genuinely didn’t know half of the terms going into the video, and it helped him understand conversations during high school.
