Basketball Story It was the biggest basketball game in East Davidson High School history, and it was coming down to the wire. The starting point guard Corey Shriller, a junior had already scored 33 points and was looking forward to his first state title, but Saint Thomas High School was standing in his way and leading by 2 with 24 seconds left on the clock. Saint Thomas had the ball and Corey was forced to foul. Corey darted towards a Saint Thomas Guard named Noah Simmons and took him out. The game was already intense but with their tempers flaring the two guards got into it and the ref was forced to throw them out of the game. Both benches cleared and the crowd went wild. Both benches had been cleared so the refs signaled for the time to run off, they would not finish the game and East Davidson had lost. As Corey walked through the narrow hall towards the locker room he said ¨Next year will be even better.¨ School had been over now for a few weeks and Corey was visiting his dad in Mexico. When Corey was 10 his parents split up and his dad moved to Mexico, so every year he would spend the summer with is dad on the beaches of Mexico.

They couldn’t believe they were undefeated. Taking on Sacred Heart at 4:30, the Greenwave girls would compete to win the championship game in the Sacred Heart Tournament. Time had flown by. The sound of basketballs bouncing and the squeaking of basketball shoes burning rubber on the floor meant that it was almost game time. The Greenwave girls were extremely anxious. Coach Chet had sparked a new confidence in them, and their anxiety and fear quickly turned into anger and determination to give their long-time enemy a taste of their own medicine.

It all began on November 3, 2015 during my first middle school basketball tournament. The grey brick walls of the gymnasium looking more like a prison than a school. The school’s “Lincoln Park Elementary School” sign had graffiti and missed a couple letters from the name. The court was terribly small, but we began by playing the superb team of Jam on It. We were blown out and I headed back up to my mom and dad in the parent filled stands. The game wasn’t even fun to play and we looked like third graders playing them. I looked up to my parents as sad as could be.
World War One is considered to be one of the most important events in modern world history. Lasting four years and resulting in large numbers of casualties, the war represented a "total war" in which nations devoted all of the resources at their disposal to the war effort. Before this time, wars were fought by trained armies sent to fight on a battlefield, and had little impact on the lives of civilians not involved in the fighting. However, during World War One, governments controlled the economy, shifting the focus of industry from consumer goods production to the production of goods that would support the war. All available civilians were put to work either directly in the fighting, or in support of war activities on the home front. Civilians played a critical role in World War One through their expression of patriotism and support of government programs, through their purchase of war bonds, and through the lifestyle changes they made in support of war related activities.
