“I think that it was good after the vacation with everyone being around other people, but I think it lasted a little too long,” junior Tristan Jasinsky.

“I just feel like it’s good that they’re giving us an option,” freshman Ava Parr

“It’s good to protect yourself, but a lot of people are vaccinated,” sophomore Annabelle Noonan.

“It was too soon to let it be optional because cases are still really bad,” sophomore Caitlin Pigue.

“I think that the mask mandate [is] okay to end it in Omaha, but making it optional in school was not the best idea because cases are still high,” sophomore Agau Bol.

“I think that the mask mandate being lifted at school is good but also bad. It’s nice not having to wear a mask, but I think it could be a bad thing because we might have a lot more cases come up,” junior Lanie Rauch.

“I don’t think it’s necessarily responsible and in the best interest of students to take away the mandate, as Douglas County Health Department takes it away just because we don’t quite know what transmission rates will be like,” junior Lucy Holan.

“In this situation with a big public high school I think masks should be mandated still,” senior Evelyn McClenny.

“I think that if the district did go off the local health situation then it’s good,” senior Luca La Fata-Hornillos.

“It isn’t really going to affect us, I think we are all past it. It’ll just be motivation for next season and trying to win next year,” junior Michael Zimmerman.

“I think it’ll make us work harder in the off season and will motivate us to prepare to win next season,” junior Marty Mormino.

“It doesn’t change much for us, It’s just motivation for next year,” junior Curt Cubrich.

“I don’t think it’ll affect us that much. It’ll give us more motivation to win next year because we lost this year,” junior Joe Vermillion.

“It doesn’t affect us much, it’s just going to be motivation for next season,” junior Michael Hurtado.

“It doesn’t really affect us much as a football team, we still didn’t get crowned as champion. It’ll just be motivation,” junior Kaden Guzman.

“It’s not really affecting us that much, we already know we lost the game, so we’re just moving on trying to get ready for next season,” sophomore Teddy Rezac.

“I don’t really think it’ll affect us too much. We will still be the same team, still have the same work ethic over the off season,” junior Ty Keifer.

“Knowing that we could’ve had the chance to win the championship if he didn’t play, that’ll definitely motivate us,” sophomore Caleb Benning.
