The Controversial Sport of Woodstock

Ahh time for a little tour down conspiracy/controversy lane. This weekend midlands played host to Woodstock's all time most controversial game. The one game that never ever ever ends with all parties happy...Dodgeball. The night began on a sour note when teams began stealing players to join their own teams. After an initial period of frustration, the game finally started. The first game was contested between the 12th graders B teamand the 11th grade all korean team. After a long drawn out game, the 11th graders managed a comfortable victory with the game eventually ending with 3 juniors against 1 senior. The next game was between the 12th grade A team and the 11the grade A team, definitely the most anticipated game of the evening. After an amazingly tight game, the seniors managed to snatch victory in a match which was seemingly impossible for them. the controversial moment of the game being when 11th grader Gaurab Adhikari was declared out 3 times in the space of a minute. This fueled the 11th graders to become extremely aggressive. Making them just throw the ball without aiming. Basically playing like a bunch of blind kids in a shootout. The Night ended with the same game as both of the teams reached the finals. In a dominant display, the 11th graders, with the help of senior Pranit Budhathoki destroyed the 12th graders in a one sided affair. After the game, The 11th graders were furious with how the refereeing was conducted. There was even a moment when an 11th grade spectator had to be held back from attacking the Ref!
