 "This year’s MLB free agency has been something to pay attention to. We’ve had unexpected signings, unexpected free agencies, and a very sad death. And, with free agency coming to a halt, it would probably be a good time to discuss it." - Donovan harris- 8th grade

 "Youth sports might feel like a distant memory, since life in quarantine has made it hard to do those things."--Polly van de water, 6th grade  by ynez foxe-robertson 6th grade  "THe Death, Details and Legacy of the Preliminary Los Angeles Dodgers Manager. "--Donovan Harris, 8th grade  "After about three and a half months without sports, because of Covid-19, the NBA finally returned in July."-- Trevor Walton, 8th grade  We are in a global pandemic and hospitals are overwhelmed, people are working from home or not at all, and all professional sports have come to a complete halt. Athletes are out of work, stadiums are empty, janitors and concession workers aren’t making money, and morale is low. Unsurprisingly, there are people who are trying to get sports reopened or relax the regulations so their teammates can play, practice, and train again. What do the people think about this? There are mixed reactions. -CHiara Kovac  “In honor of Black History month, I want to give a shout out to 10 people who defied the odds in sports and stood up against racism and/or sexism.”--Trevor Walton, 7th grade "There is a him at every beach -- a Mr.Mansplain." --justine courtenay-huang  Mr.Mansplain. He grabs the side of my friends board in his fists — grabs her board — readying himself to push her into a wave, though we are complete strangers, though she tells him no repetitively, though she had just paddled back from the very same catch as him, though (if it had stopped to ask he would have learned) she is a surfing instructor herself. The Santa Cruz sun is never enough to distract me from the anger in my chest; we came here to relax. I remember the smug disdain, hooded wetsuit, and chapped sunscreen he wore incredibly clearly, but that aside he was all too familiar because there is a him at every beach -- a Mr.Mansplain.
 "The Khabib Nurmagomedov - Conor McGregor super fight left everyone with one thought: What the hell did we just watch? It was one of the craziest events in recent sports history..." -- Miles De Rosa "Is it possible that the best swimmer of all time, Michael Phelps, might soon lose his top platform?" - Lizette Navarro  |
