Wow, what a start to 2009! Welcome back, everyone. The wrapping paper has been recycled, the New Year's resolutions have been made, and it's on to spring semester. We had hardly scuffed our spring term sneakers when it was time for our Academic Olympics team to face off against Booker High on Tuesday. In our very first match ever, the Thunder pulled ahead in Round 2 and then Round 3 was a nail-biter the whole time, right down to the final point that separated the two teams. In the end, we lost by only that single point. I don't call that a loss, actually. It was our first year playing, our first match ever, and we weren't even in school the day before. So hats off to Tim, Lauren, Trey and Anika - great job! We even had spectators. A few people were milling around the library or checking email on the iMacs and they too were gripped by the spectacle and couldn't bear to leave in the middle of the drama.
Join us for our next home games on Jan. 20 and Feb. 24th. If you want to, you know, bring pompoms or paint yourself blue and white or whatever, we would think that is cool. No, really.
