As 2010 closes, we here at BOOYAH can appreciate a tumultuous but exciting year for sports. We have had a year which includes thrilling Olympic Games, a historic Cup in Africa and an awesome Octopus who predicted all of the those games.
And things haven’t died down at all. Principal Ben Dale spends every hour away from school chugging Diet Coke and watching the Cowboys, Team L.A. Club has kicked its Laker worship into high gear, and Casey Zirbel remains the only Clippers’ fan on Earth.
And even though we die a little inside every time we hear that another one of our athletically-gifted friends is going to the college of our dreams, we are still pretty wound up about Costa sports. Maegan Mannasse and the rest of the girls tennis team could probably beat all of us up, and we couldn’t be more proud.
But sports fans shouldn’t limit their scope to only the greatest athletes. There are countless run-of-the-mill and run-of-worse-than-the-mill competitors out there. Fortunately for the comedic value of this column, the worst of them appears to be journalists.
La Vista has started a basketball league, and our jaw-dropping dunks are sure to sweep the school off its feet. Every Friday, fans can look forward to seeing journalism geeks hustle up and down the Pennekamp basketball courts, desperately trying to prove that we have athletic ability.
There’s one more thing we have to prove, however. Our rivalry with Mustang Morning News has gone on far too long without any type of face-to-face altercation. Try not to explode when you read this, but this isn’t just an article. This is a challenge.
Mustang Morning News—the ball is in your court. Let’s settle this once and for all. Do you think you can take us in a basketball showdown?
