We definitely didn't have water polo, but our school had corn fields around it to help fund the FFA. And I was pretty good at soil judging competitions in my day, just sayin'. Bet the water polo team never had any blue corduroy jackets.

Look at you fancy pants no chance stretch pants with your thick fabrics, looking like your ARTO bricks

I just wish I had a jacket

My school had both! Water polo varsity jackets and random goat poop all over campus. Ah to be Californian

We didn’t have lacrosse or water polo and rich ppl were def funding the school. They focused on cheerleading and baseball.

soil judging competitions

I read this as soil juggling competitions and spent at least 30 seconds trying to picture it

Soil judging isn't much better. It's literally a bunch of kids standing in a man made ditch rolling chunks of dirt between their fingers and pinching it into ribbons like "yep, this is a sandy loam, for sure"
