Kawabunga Case Study

In game two, Centenary fell behind 3-0 before scoring two in the fourth because of a key error and one more in the fifth. With two down in the fourth, senior Lizzie Moran hit a groundball to first that was misplayed to allow her to beat the throw. Moran stole second and scored on sophomore Wendy Gillet’s RBI hit. While trying to gun down Moran at the plate, Gillet moved to second and scored on freshman Ashley Albright’s hit.

In a heartbreaking loss in game one, Centenary rallied from an 8-2 deficit to take a 9-8 lead in the bottom of the eighth. However, Trinity scored two in the ninth for the thrilling 10-9 win. With Centenary down 8-2 in the fifth, the Maroon and White erupted for five runs to cut the deficit to one. Quintanilla walked and Schimpf singled to put runners on the corners. With one out, Crowder singled up the middle for an RBI. Russell singled to load the bases, and a bases-loaded walk with two outs plated the second run. Junior Ian Graham delivered the big blow, doubling down the leftfield line to clear the bases. However, he was thrown out trying to take third

Being girls of the ages fourteen to eighteen we did not know how to react. We have never in our life went to school and heard all these headlines about how the program we worked so hard to build is not going to make it in our county. Knowing we had no support from anyone besides our coaches and families led us to constantly being down. We were continuously mocked of from higher ranked teams, even if we won a game. All that proceeded in our heads were that how can people think so small of a group of teenage girls. No one wanted to be last in our division anymore, but we didn't have faith in ourselves as a result of no one having confidence in us.

team was said to be one of the best in the entire NCAA men’s basketball. The Kentucky basketball could shoot the ball, they could pass the ball, and they could dribble the ball like no other team that year. If there was any year for a NCAA basketball team to go undefeated this was the team. They were the don't-even-try-to-beat-us-because-we-will-still-crush-you team of the league. Coach John Calipari was in his 6th year of coaching and was in his prime. That year they had Julius Randle as power forward and James Young as their small forward, both of these men would go on to be first round draft picks in 2014. This star team also had the returning twins Aaron

The Gents led by nine in heading into the second period, but a 12-3 run by Rust in the first six minutes of the final period tied the game. After neither team scored in more than 1:30, Dominique Brown made two free throws and Antono Jones made a layup. Kirkendoll took a defensive rebound coast-to-coast, but a layup by Jones and two free throws by Allen Potts cut the lead to three. A Jones layup cut the Centenary lead to one.

Our team went undefeated for our first 16 games, and then our 17th game we had our first tie. We were used to killed the team we tied to, but that proves if you don’t come ready not everything is going to go your way. Some of the kids kind of took it the wrong way. We won 14 more games after that and kept playing strong. Then we had our final playoff game to see who was going to state or not.

It was 7:00 in the morning when we arrived at the Johnston City High School. Once everyone arrived at the high school, we got on the bus and headed off to Benton. As we stepped foot on the bus, we all sat there quietly, nervous about the results of this game. This was the game that determined whether or not we went on to state. Coach Simon and Coach Shane gave us one of their what we like to call "before the game warm-up talks". We were all nervous of course, but we were all determined to win this game. We had been looking forwards to winning regionals and going to state the whole season and that day was the day that we gave us the opportunity to go to state. After the thirty minute bus ride, we finally got to Benton and once we got there,

Grades had been a problem for a few players on the team. Having to miss a few games due to them but they got all there players back and ready for another title. The Barnstormers lead by running back Ameer Abdullah were going for they’re 3rd state title in four years.

Down 37-18 right before half, the Ladies used a 7-1 run in the second quarter and right after half to cut the deficit to 13. Sophomore Savanah Doty hit a triple and classmate Jasmine Morris split from the line right before halftime. Trinity split from the line to begin the third quarter, but Doty answered with a fastbreak three.

I believe this is a hopeful lesson. It’s easy to feel defeated when playing against people who have paid a great deal more attention to college basketball. But single-elimination tournaments are cruel. Every unexpected upset can upend even the wisest player’s entire bracket, as you may have gathered from the banshee’s wail of the defeated on Facebook as the tournament progresses. Given that your potential points double each round, you can sneak in a win by hanging on to a few teams that go deep, even if your first round looked like a disaster.

Enter Bronson Koenig, a junior guard whose three-pointer tied the game with 13 seconds left. After Wisconsin guard Zak Showalter drew a charge on Xavier’s Edmond Sumner on the ensuing possession, Wisconsin coach Greg Gard called a timeout to set up the final play with two seconds showing on the clock. According to Gard, the Badgers executed the play exactly how he had drawn it up. Koenig received the inbounds pass from Ethan Happ and nailed a game-winning, step-back three as time expired. As the Badgers celebrated another trip to the Sweet 16, things got even more interesting between Northern Iowa and Texas A&M.

The following year, Carolina fans returned with even higher expectations. Over the course of the regular season, these expectations were fulfilled. Entering the tournament as a top seed with the same starting squad, the team was faced with a similar challenge to the one that they were defeated by the year before. Taking advantage of the Elite Eight game in Memphis, my father, brother, and I traveled to watch the game against Oklahoma live at the FedExForum. As we entered the arena, I became nervous considering the possibility of defeat. We found our seats and prepared for tip-off. Late in the second half, North Carolina took a sizeable lead that would put the Heels ahead for good. The confetti that rained down put a smile on my face. Watching the players cut down the nets, I knew that I would always be a Carolina fan. The team would continue to defeat Villanova and later

Despite a back-and-forth game with eight ties, Centenary trailed 84-78 with 31 seconds left. Senior James Sapp made a layup, and junior Trey Barstow made a steal that led to a three pointer by junior Travion Kirkendoll to cut the deficit to one. However, the Bulldogs made all four free throws in the final seconds as the Gents lost by three.

Did Chinawa violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Yes, they did. The reason why they are in violation of the act of 1964 is because the textbook states that against applicants and employees the act “prohibits discrimination in the hiring process, discipline procedures, discharge, promotion, and benefits”. Since minorities make up 50 percent of the population, but only one-fourth complete high school compared to the white population who make up the other 50 percent and where three-fourths of white people complete high school, you can see how disproportionate it is. Even though I believe they violated the act I don’t think they are 100 percent guilty. It’s not a bad idea to require applicants to get a high school education to be

The Hornets felt like Flanagan had to be in an easy seed. The Hornets had played to the 4th quarter and decided to put the second string in. The Hornets came out with a win 46- 31. The Hornets were 3rd in state. The Hornets were so happy they all went out on the court and started jumping. They boys had gotten a trophy and medals. Matt was the point leader in that game with having his threes spot on. Matt was in tears winning that game and having his team come all this way. The boys were heading home with a fire truck and cop flashing lights and making noise at 8;30 at night on a Saturday. The Hornets were in the newspaper from their victory and effort. The Hornets were on a float in the parade and got cheered on by everyone they went by. After all the effects from winning state everyone was sad that it’s over, but they knew they could attack state next year. Matt was a huge part of the team. He was an excellent shooter and defender. He was a great captain to the team and also the best focused person to the game. The Hornets had done an excellent job making this far in basketball and everyone was proud of them. Matt was happy with the outcome, but ready to do more next year. State
