Sports or Dance?
By Shira Hoffman
Do you prefer to dance or do other sports? Well, I prefer to dance, but that is just my opinion since I am a dancer.
Some people think that dance Is not a sport but I believe that it is, it involves the same amount of cardio and work as any other sport. It might even be harder than some sports.
Dancing is the best sport because it is fun, amusing, and exciting. Dancers are always on their feet and up around moving. Not only that but did you know that certain types of sports require taking ballet for balance.
Dance and other athletics both involve the body and so it takes time and coaching to get certain skills to certain levels. Also, there are many competitions in dance and other athletics which is that both have an audience.
In dance, most people start at a young age and it becomes their whole life. The training can be difficult because there are different ways to train in dance. There is exercising, stretching, control, balancing, and most importantly, dancers need to learn how to perform and sell the show.
In conclusion, dance involves hard work, and not only is it the best sport it should be considered a sport by everyone.
Tennis Swings a Strong Racket
By Miah Jackson
Tennis was invented by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield in 1874. Tennis’s original name was lawn tennis. It was named that because it is played on grass courts by ladies and gentlemen.
The basics of tennis are the opposite players use rackets to hit a ball over a net on a rectangular court. Points are given when the player or team fails to return the ball. Some rules about tennis are that the players can not touch the net or cross onto the opponent's side. Just like in volleyball one person can not hit the ball twice and must wait until the ball passes the net before they can return it.
Some fun facts about tennis are that before there was a racket people had to use the palm of their hand to hit the ball back and forth over the net. Before there were yellow tennis balls there were white ones. The yellow tennis balls were first used at Wimbledon in 1932.
Tennis is an outstanding sport because it helps maintain health, fitness, strength, and agility. You can play with a club of friends and family as a social activity. In between plays make sure that you drink plenty of fluids regularly, water is recommended. Also, tennis helps connect the neural in your brains, and kids who play tennis regularly get better grades in school and achieve higher in school.
Tennis has many players such as the remarkable twin brothers Willam and Ernest Renshaw who dominated tennis in the 1880s. Willam won the Wimbledon signals championship seven times defeating his brother in the finals. While Ernest was victorious once in the partnership that won the double championships that were first played in 1876 at Oxford seven times.
The greatest players of all time are Serena Willams, Naomi Osaka, Emma Raducanu, and Venus Williams. Ranking up is Ashleigh Barty from Australia, Barbora Kerjcikova from the Czech republic, Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus, and Iga Swiatek from Poland.
Is the Premier League the best in European Soccer?
By Benjamin Hacker, Jacob Pinchuk, and Jake Shampansky
The Premier League is full of ups and downs with many upsets and late goals, but are they the best league? In the past few years, there have been many exciting games such as the Aguero goal today 10 years ago, 5-13-12, which was to win the Premier League!
The Premier League is full of England players that are on the England National team, including the whole starting 11. The starting 11 feature Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling, Mason Mount, Bukayo Ayoyinka T. M. Saka, Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips, Luke Shaw, Harry Maguire, Jonathan Stones, Kyle Walker, and Jordan Pickford who are all great players. This just goes to show that all of these great players think that the Premier League has a lot to offer, such as talent. These players also like their country and their competition such as Romelu Lukkaku, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin De Bruyne, and also Mohamed Salah. This makes the Premier League interesting throughout every minute of the game. Now, let's compare the Premier League to other leagues such as La Liga. If we compare the top three teams in each league to their success in the Champions League the top three from the Premier League are, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea, while the top three teams from the La Liga League are Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Athletico Madrid. Liverpool and Real Madrid are both in the final so they match out. Manchester City made the semi-final and lost to Real Madrid, while Barcelona did not make it out of the group stage, Chelsea went out in the Quarter-finals to Real Madrid while Athletico Madrid went out to Manchester City also in the Quarter-finals.
The Premier League is a lot better than La Liga. This time let's do the same thing with the Bundesliga League. The top three teams in Bundesliga are Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The farthest team from the Bundesliga was Bayern who was knocked out in the quarter-finals, Dortmund did not make it out of the group, then Bayer 04 Leverkusen did not even make it to the champions league which shows how dominant the Premier League teams are. Now in the last league let's do the Ligue 1. The top three teams are Paris Saint-German, Olympique de Marseille, and AS Monico, and the only team to even make the Premier league is Paris Saint-German, who got knocked out in the round of 16 to Real Madrid.
The Premier League is by far the most exciting league with close games, points, and finals. Stay tuned for the Champions and Premier League!

The Finally, West-Side NBA Playoffs
By Benjamin Hacker, Jake Shampansky and Jacob Pinchuk
The NBA playoffs have made fans go through multiple emotional stages when teams either win or lose, but now it is down to business with the final four teams, the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, Dallas Mavericks, and the Miami Heat. Each of these teams has gone through traumatic and emotional experiences, but each of their futures lay in their own hands, where it is a series that is the best of 7.
Let's start off with the 4 seed Dallas Mavericks. The Mavericks probably had the hardest way to get to this final four. In the first round, the Mavericks had to face off against the 5 seed Utah Jazz. The Jazz took game 1 and the Mavericks took games 2 and 3, and all of these games were very hard and close. The Jazz needed to win game 4 to tie up the series, and they did! The series was all square going into game 5. The Mavericks eventually took games 5 and 6 to win the series 4-2, but so far they are most known for their major upset in the next series against the best-record team the Phoneix Suns, especially when the Suns took games 1 and 2. Although, Luka Doncic was not giving up on the series when scoring 26 points in games three and four leading the suns to a tied series. After this, the suns took game 5 leading the series 3-2, but the Mavericks were determined. Luka Doncic leads his team to win games 6 and 7 going to the final four over the best team in the NBA.
Let's continue on the west side of the NBA bracket. The 3 seed Golden State Warriors. The Warriors had to play against the 7-seed Denver Nuggets. This series was very self-explanatory with the Warriors winning the first three games by comfortable margins, but the Nuggets finally came back with some response in game 4. Although the Nuggets contested the Warriors blew past the Nuggets and won the series 4-1 but they knew that they would have a much harder series against the 2-seed Memphis Grizzlies. In game one, the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies had a tough game and it came down to the last point. The Warriors had won 117-116, and started with a 1-0 lead in the series. Then the Grizzlies answered back with a 5 point win in game 2. In game 3 the Warriors blew out the Grizzlies and then Ja Morant was injured and not coming back for the rest of the series. Then the Grizzlies had to do a very good job contesting which they did, but they unfortunately lost and they were considered in the dirt for the rest of the series. The only option for the Grizzlies was to win three strait, and they started in game 5 where they won 134 to 95. Then the Warriors wanted revenge for this and they beat the Grizzlies in game 6 and the score was 96 to 110.
Overall, the West-side of the NBA playoffs is very exciting and we are now waiting for the Warriors and Mavericks series to end to see who will make the finals.
