The highschool I went to has always been known for how strong their performances are in student athletics. Penn High School has numerous sectional,regional, semi-state, and State titles. The main hallway has a showcase filled with the trophies and plaques received from winning these titles. Penn is a 5A/4A powerhouse most people would say. The past few years although have been unlike Penn sports. Winning recors always are there, but there have been more losses in each sport than ever in the years past. This weekend is a very big sporting weekend for my highschool. The football team which are so many of my younger friends play tonight fo the sectional title. The sectional title of course is a huge deal, but the fact that we are playing our forever hugest rival for it makes it even crazier. The Mishawaka Cavemen share the town with us and had not beaten us for 28 years until last year,my senior year, when we lost to them in both regular season and for the Sectional Title. It was a heart wrenching loss for the title as we lost by pulling a field goal barely to the right. 10,000 people fill the stadium for Penn vs. Mishawaka games, it is hard to believe its only a footbal game! The boys this year lost to Mishawaka again in reg. season for Penn's third straight loss to the Cavemen. Will the came hold 2 years in a row to Penn's 28 years of victory, or can the Kingsmen pull out a huge win tonight for the title?
This weekend is the girl's volleyball Indiana State Championship game. What better of a place to get crazy and loud for your team than Ball State's arena! The State game will be played tomorow, Saturday November 6, 2010. I am really excited for this, because it is Penn my highschool playing for the State game! This is a big deal, because none of our sporting teams have been to State for quite a few years. What a weekend ahead for Penn athletics, it sure will be exciting. Go Penn go!
