Peters said that the Vikings’ lack of teamwork was a major factor in their loss. “Everyone should have been thinking together as a team and I think thats just what should have happened,” Peters said. “And today, [it] was not — it was all individual stuff and we all got in our own heads and it just didnt work out.” (Photo: Jonathan Chen)](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/edit1-50-900x659.jpg)

Letter to the Editors: “Egg disaster” response
October 18, 2021
Thanks for your article about the egg disaster, which was linked by someone in Nextdoor. My comment: all damage caused must be repaired. And I think Paly — staff and students — should establish a hotline (email and/or phone) for residents to contact, to report damage done by eggs that hasn't yet been cleaned up or repaired. Then someone can decide who should do the clean-up or, if repairs cost money, who should pay for it (obviously NOT the victim).
