This
year’s basketball tournament welcomed us with a heat wave that kept everyone in
the gym watching attentively. Students
proudly wore their school colors as their teams took to the basketball court
for a three on three tournament with no shortage of action and surprises.
Students
were greeted with drinks and pastries for breakfast. The court slowly filled with people and the
energy grew by the minute. Team themed
bows, shirts, slogans, and cheers were ever present in what turned out to be a
day filled with smiles, chants, music, and the bizarre.
Cheers
got louder as the tournament progressed.
The leading teams began to stand out clearly after the first game. It appeared it would end in a point battle
between Orange County and Downtown, but in the end, Downtown claimed the championship
with no defeats and took the trophy home for this year. It was a hard fought victory and another
tournament win that downtown can add to their repertoire.
After
the game, everyone enjoyed pizza and soft drinks for lunch. Students from all schools took the
opportunity to meet and share stories from their experiences in the US. Staff and faculty worked diligently to make
sure everything was in place and ready for students to enjoy.
Let’s
hope next year’s tournament can be as exciting. The buildup is always slow, but the competitive spirit always rises to
the occasion. Congratulations to
Downtown on their victory and congratulations to all who took part in making
sure the tournament was successful. And
as always, GO Language Systems!
