With explosions going off all around him, Kingfi sher High School sophomore Jagger Braun prepares to launch a counterstrike during the annual “water balloon wars” that were part of Monday night’s Meet the Jackets. The event is sponsored each year by the Kingfi sher All-Sports. The event featured the Pride of Kingfi sher band, the KHS cheerleaders and the introduction of all the junior high and high school athletic teams. This is the third year for the water balloon battles between classes, which has become its most popular attraction. [KT&FP Staff Photo]
