EDIT 1/6/2021: Updating formerly Starshade’s (now Flash’s) bio in light of the recent change I made.

Here are the rival Buckball Champions.

The show alluded to the fact that Buckball has grown into a national sensation. I like to think it’s grown into something on the level of American football, which is the obvious analogy in the show. I think there is a lot of financial investment in the sport, and as such, even high school/college level Buckball teams are highly sophisticated. As Twilight’s School is not really all that sport-oriented, their school does not receive as much funding as others, which means Halien has to pull his weight a bit as Buckball captain.
