Elimination tournament

preparation for the Toledo regional Mathcounts tournament held in February. When the day of the tournament finally arrived, the four-man, McCord varsity team, comprised of Frank Lee, Pravin Jayatissa, Krishna Saraiya, and me, woke up at an outrageously early time. The four of us met up in a common room found in the University of Toledo and sat around a circular table while consuming a few bagels topped with Philadelphia cream cheese which the tournament organizers had provided for us. We talked very

send Belrose into a sudden death semi final with East Campbelltown this Sunday.

Robotics has been my other passion for the past three years and i’m

:::The Goal::: I glare at the goal, while the goalkeeper focuses on the ball right on the tip of my shoe. I could hear the heavy breathing of everybody in the whole stadium.

We finished putting on our gear and got on the field, there was 10 of us on the team since it was a 5v5 tournament. We were standing waiting for the ref to blow the whistle since the other team barely got on time. As soon as the team finished getting on the field, the ref blew the whistle and the game began. We started the

The red curtains open to reveal a blinding bright spotlight and a packed arena. Getting to the National Championship an immense amount of preparation. We had two minutes in front of the judges. We put our hands in the middle of our circle. For the last time of the season, we chanted “LHS cheer!”, and then we were off. The crowd was silent with anticipation. The routine felt like second nature and we ended up doing well. We made it to finals and ultimately took fourth place in the nation. It the first

Life must have been irrational back in early Europe. Slap happy, drunken, and crazed people were all there was back then. The only rational people were the King and Queen, and any other royalty. A lot of stuff has changed since the medieval times in Europe, and the experience was extraordinary. At some point time I had learned about the medieval times and what the time period was like, but never really had the experience. What exactly is the Renaissance Festival? I found this to be a recurring thought
