I think we are going to have to change the nature of these challenge games during Spirit Week in the near future. I am thinking of perhaps a Faculty versus Student Backgammon Game next year or maybe Faculty versus Student Shuffleboard because these basketball contests are getting harder and harder every year as our students grow bigger, faster, and stronger from year to year and I simply just grow older and slower.
The game featured our Fabulous Faculty, here Ms. Palmer and Ms. B V
Versus a very formidable foe, The Students! Here with Coach Maria and some of her players, and Ref Megan commiserating before the game
The fans were ready for a good game!
Some of the fans were in the balcony seats
Some had a court side view
The game was very close throughout
Thank goodness the students kept calling timeouts!
The chronologically challenged players truly welcomed the breaks!
The students played well
Faculty fans were very concerned with the outcome very much in doubt.
Halftime featured a "Cheer Off" between Grade 6 and grade 7 students
Grade 7 provided the faculty with some much needed additional inspiration.
The faculty squeaked out a close victory
Lots of congrats after the game
