The Great Basketball Relay Race

Last year during College Sports Week, teachers got to compete in the same events the students did. That's not to say they competed alongside each other, but if there was a student's long jump competition, there was also a teacher's long jump competition. Well, I guess this year the organizers of the event (The P.E. Department) felt that those events were too dangerous for our aging teachers. I mean, one teacher did get a little ruffled when he landed short of the sandpit.

This year, to prevent such ego bruising mishaps, the teachers were given a roster of events so silly that I am more inclined to call them Physical Challenges than actually sporting events. For example, there was The Jump Rope competition; how many times can one jump rope in a minute. There was The Free Throw competition. But by far the most enjoyable to watch was The Great Basketball Relay Race. Imagine if the baton in your hand was replaced by a basketball on your head. If only this school had a nice gymnasium! I would have dominated in The Backward-seated Scooter Sprint.
