Senior Assasin

Senior Assassin has been a tradition at Redwood and many high schools across the United States. It began last Monday, March 18, with over 300 senior participants. To participate, each player has to pay $15 and the winning team is awarded approximately $1,000 per person. The rules to play are simple: you choose a team of four students with one member as the team captain. You must use water guns to ‘assassinate’ your opponents assigned to your squad weekly while protecting against an unknown team attempting to ‘assassinate’ you. If your captain is shot, your dreams of becoming the champion of senior assassin are over. To keep the game contained, there are so-called safe zones where players can not be shot; these areas include sports practices, a player’s job, inside of a player’s household unless permitted by someone else living in that household and more. Let the games begin!
