Although it ended with a bang, it was a sad night for the senior basketball players at Waialua High School, as this was their last night playing with their team. Tears were shed, but far more, there were smiles. Everyone put aside their differences and celebrated after the game. The gym was decorated with senior photos, signs, and balloons, while just outside, there was more than enough great food to eat.
As for our great cheerleaders... I'm sad to say the two new girls were there, even though they were playing in the game with two of the veterans, but only three girls showed up. This is more than disappointing. It's the end of the year; we're tired; competition's over... but they made a commitment and had a responsibility to share their school spirit and pride. As far as I know, not one called or text to let coach know they weren't going to show.
Myself, Teraisa, and Coach Aundra were on hand, but not experienced enough to make up for such shortage. At least now we know what to prepare for! That's a good thought, right?
The three cheerleaders, Aundra, and I wondered why we don't pull out all the stops for the girls team. Why aren't we dressed in uniform? Why aren't we cheering on a sideline? Why aren't we doing a half-time routine? Why aren't we doing, for just ONE NIGHT-the last game of the season-the same thing we would at each home game for the boys football and basketball teams?
We'll have to check that out. My best guess is it's about money...
