The school also won awards for Best Percussion, Best Color Guard, Best Visual, and Best Overall Effect. The band was undefeated in all competitions this year.
The New Orleans Saints tried out free agent running backs Derrick Gore, Jaquan hardy, and Antonio Williams after releasing Jake Funk from the practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL’s transactions wire.

He remained with the team for the first part of the 2022 NFL season, but was released in early October before finding a new, but temporary, home in New Orleans.
