Teacher Dream Team Dominate Dodgeball!!

This year the teachers Dream Team has once again beaten the grade 7, 8, and 9 teams. While each student team lost, they maintained their respective pride with admirable, valiant effort. The grade nines came very close to ousting the champs when one student clipped the teachers numbers down to four. This, combined with the efforts of both the grade 7s and 8s, made the Dream Team nervous, causing Mr. G to call for an expanded training regiment before next year's tournament. Besides a couple of scintillating catches on the part of the teachers, the grade 7s were the only team to catch a teacher-tossed dodge ball, so give them a good hoot! The whole student population hopes that next year one of its teams will overcome the incredible challenge posed by the teachers.
