The end of the Class of 2022 is around the
corner. The tormenting, agonizing, despicable academic school life is finally coming
to a grand finale. Unfortunately, we aren’t yet granted the freedom of athletic
lifestyles. March 2nd, the date I often recollect: the absence of intramurals’
presence. The day the Ministry of Education barged into our campus due to a
sudden pandemic rise and halted all joy and wonders. Disappointment, misery,
and unwillingness summed up the emotion of the conclusion.
All ball sports were prohibited once again.
That led to the top 3 popular sports in school, basketball, soccer, and
volleyball, forbidden on campus. “Noooo, I wanna ball so badly during lunch,
man!” Darryl Dwumfour (11) cried while munching on his sandwich. The sorrow continued
as time flew by.
Finally, on March 18th, Mr. Penland
announced the plausibility of Intramurals after spring break. Last but not
least, sports balls are back! The news was delightful, and students rejoiced
for its arrival. Without any hesitation, students brought their sports balls to
school. Ball pounded, and students roared on friendly matches. The intensity
can be heard a few meters away from the cafeteria. Without ball sports, lunch
would never be so-called “lunch.”
“I miss playing volleyball with my
classmates on the lower soccer field. The fun we have is irreplaceable,” Liwei
Koh (12) comments while preparing to spike the volleyball to his friends.
Though sports are now available during
lunch, intramurals are yet to be returned. Students are intrigued by the
champions for each intramural category. Whether which team will reign the
throne in either basketball, soccer, or volleyball is still a mystery.
“I can’t wait for intramurals to start!”
Ryan Chan (12) is anticipating the season's resume to showcase his dunking
skills. Nevertheless, remember to prepare your sports attire to compete for the
glory and honor of your team!
