The students in Deuel Middle School hosted a competition between their homerooms on Friday, October 2. This was homecoming for Deuel, but due to bad weather, the parade had to be cancelled. The middle school decided to keep themselves busy by doing another homeroom competition.
For this competition, they decided to have a volleyball tournament. “We thought it was appropriate because that is the season we are in right now, and because it is a new competition that we have never tried until this year, so it was pretty exciting and fun, too,” said Mrs. Konald, the Middle School English teacher.
The tournament was a round robin. The way it worked was that the homerooms divided themselves into two groups. Then the two teams would play for 2 ½ minutes for a total of seven minutes. Each homeroom got to play each other. “It was just a round robin where one team would play each other and it would just be continuos until all the teams played each other and then whoever one the most was the winner,” said Mr. Mitchell, the new science teacher.
“This competition was just fun and entertaining. It was fun to watch the teams work as a group and bond. The best part of it was watching the kids work together, because its all different grade levels, and it gives the kids a chance to work with other students they usually wouldn't get to because of their grades. I really would recommend this competition because it made the students work together and put in a team effort,” said Mrs. Konald. “One of the most funny things that happened was when I was refereeing and the ball was served, and it almost hit me in the face!”
In the end, Mr. Merrigan's homeroom ended up taking the gold home with the most wins.
