Rivington High Regal Rhinos and Rivington High In General





Rivington High's Own Sports Team, the Regal Rhinos are ultimately little more than a gang of bitter, jaded washouts who cope with their failures in life by taking it out on the other students.

A group of arrogant, bullying athletes who plays for the school football team. In their golden prime, their athletic natures and wealthy and influential families meant that the teachers were reluctant to discipline them or give them bad grades because of this and their sporting prowess, which brought credit and funding to the school. All of this brought out the worst in them, and they used that to throw their weight around.

In current times though, they've fallen into a rut. The team is so busy competing with each other for on-the-field glory and the resulting ego boosts that they barely function as a team.

As a result, they have been on a long losing streak, and their classmates have even less respect for them now than they used to, which wasn't much. It's gotten to the point that the team being thrashed by The Serenity City Saviors whenever the team's compete is a running joke at the school.

Their coach's win at all costs competition freak mentality pushing them past what is healthy in training and practice and getting mad at them for not meeting his Brobdingnagian standards, including recently pushing them towards Ambrose-Abuse (You've seen how efficient that is in a small dose spaced out over time in Derrick's story. Imagine what it can do to you if abused. Something the bottles and corporation explicitly warn against), does NOT help matters.

Couple this with the general pompous and apathetic nature of their principal, who is his own giant ball of issues, and it's a recipe for disaster.

It's a small wonder why their school is basically falling apart at the seams: Rivington High is, in essence, the polar opposite of Serenity Scientific Center High School For Advanced Education.

It's Serenity High's reflection in a cracked dirty mirror. As opposed to the shining shimmering golden pillar of education, it's a rut with a whole host of issues giving off a sense of gloom and failure, students who are on the verge of giving up, graffiti, overstuffed classrooms with underpaid teachers and lack of proper help, bullying, and on top of everything else, The Invisi-Twins screwing with everyone for their own amusement.

In short, it's a complete mess and the Rhinos are more of a symptom than an underlying cause.
