Rivalries were hot, and professional athlete look a likes ran wild at RNE during Coming Home Week. Wednesday was “Baller Day,” and students were encouraged to dress like their favorite athletes.

At lunch, a select group of “ballers” were chosen to compete in a look-a-like contest. The competition was fierce, with superstars like Mia Ham, and Michael Vick making appearances. When the sports icons finished showing off their skills, faculty judges chose the winner. Despite the heavy competition from Tiger Woods, Lela Ali (Adrian Edmunds) took the title of Richland Northeast’s athlete look a like.
