Competition

Competition: the act of competing; rivalry for supremacy, a prize, etc

Competition can be a very interesting activity. From gym class mat ball to the basketball state tournament, everybody wants to win. This is what creates the competition portion. Well right now I have seen and will be apart of alot of competition. This past week in Des Moines, Iowa; Iowa had the Girls State Basketball Tournament and our entire school visited. Our school was full of spirit and ready to dominate and to deprive the visiting team of their spirit. I think we did this well. The tournament was quite competitive with the teams, but the Student sections were at war as well.

Shot after shot, the teams were playing with full on game. The fans were full on as well. Our cheers involved Shots, I Believe That We Will Win, Boo(which I don't like), Air ball and various others. The energy was creating sparks and out student section never gave up. We always defeated the other team in cheers. They were weak. We were strong. Easy as that. Even though we didn't win the state tournament, our fan section dominated with school spirit and awesomeness.

Another form of competition is very different from the state tournament, but involves cheerleading. Now just because I mentioned cheerleading, doesn't mean you should be shutting off the blog. Just listen to this story. It is the same as any team tryouts and should be read as well.

At the current moment, cheerleading has had try outs for freshman and sophomores. Varsity tryouts are coming up as well. When I last saw the tryout list, there were 30 girls signed up. This is completely different from past tryouts. I am used to 23 girls trying out, not 30. Many cheerleaders are stepping up their game. The next few weeks will be very hectic.

Competition can bring the worst and the best out of people. These competitions have and will bring the awesomeness that is our school.
