Many people believe the Plymouth Pilgrim to be different from the Plymouth Rockie. \u00a0Whether the difference occurs in sports or just simply in people\u2019s minds, there are several ways to think about the two. \u00a0Students at PHS have given insight on what they truly believe.
\n<\/b><\/p>\n

For each student the definition of a Plymouth Pilgrim and a Plymouth Rockie is different. \u00a0Freshman Jake Dewar announced that to him, being a Rockie means being a family. \u00a0He said, \u201cIt\u2019s having the heart and determination and to be the best and stay there.\u201d \u00a0He also said that, \u201cRockie football is more than just being a team. It is being able to work together as a family.\u201d On the other hand sophomore Jordan Kelly responded that she thinks the word Rockie means pride. \u00a0Both of these students stated that they both feel that they are Plymouth Pilgrims because they play sports. \u00a0\u201cI do play sports and I think the whole thing is kinda based on sports,\u201d said Kelly.<\/p>\n

Freshman Lexi Rudd said, \u00a0\u201ceveryone is a Pilgrim and Rockie that goes to PHS.\u201d \u00a0Now Dewar thinks it takes more than just going to this high school. \u00a0\u201cBecoming either takes hard work and a lot of time. \u00a0Anyone can become one of these people whether it\u2019s being in the Spell Bowl or on the football team,\u201d \u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

Senior Kelsey Fish says that people at the high school are labeled as Plymouth Pilgrims and Rockies because \u201cit\u2019s our mascot.\u201d \u00a0However sophomore Tristan Roberts thinks otherwise \u201cWe are strong. We never let things get to us. \u00a0No matter what during game days, we become a team. There is no I in team.\u201d<\/p>\n

The word Pilgrim means something different to everyone. \u00a0Rudd says that when she hears the word Plymouth Pilgrim, she thinks of basketball. \u00a0Kelly just thinks of sports in general, and Roberts thinks of basketball and softball. \u00a0All of the students interviewed agreed that when they hear the word Rockie, they immediately think of football.<\/p>\n

Dewar states that by working hard, getting good grades, and playing sports is how the Plymouth Pilgrims and Rockies support the school. \u00a0When looking at the answers of these students, people can see that there is more to PHS than some may conclude.<\/p>\n
