What sports should someone new to summit play?

by Imani

If you’re new to summit and want to play a sport but don’t know which one to pick you could either do all of them or pick the one that is better for you. If you were in a sport at your old school and you want to be in the same sport you should do that. But if you want to try a different sport, but you’ve never done a different sport other than the one you know, read this.

Swimming, Wrestling, Cross Country, Track, and Football are all sports at Summit. 1.Swimming is just as it sounds. After school you go to the swimming area and swim.

2. Wrestling is wrestling. You have to fight someone in the same weight class as you.

3. Cross country is running.

4. Track is also running but it's still different.

5. Football is football.

Personally I would choose swimming because if I want to be in a sport but not one I could get seriously hurt in, swimming is the best option. But if you like running track and cross country are probably the best option for you. If you like wrestling, football and wrestling would be good.

The Vikings

by Will R. 

After last season being 13-4 the Minnesota Vikings started off 1-4. A horrible start to the season. Nothing was going right, their offense wasn’t snoring, their defense wasn’t getting stops. Some people even counted the vikings out of the playoffs. They started winning, they had one two in row when their starting quarterback tore his Achilles. Fortunately the backup jaren hall was able to finish the game against the packers. Although next week in the first quarter he got injured, Joshua Dobbs had to come in. The Vikings got him 4 days before, he didn’t practice with the starters, and his first two possessions resulted in an interception and a fumble. Although he turned around and won the game and the next. They are now 6-4.

Soccer

Soccer is a sport that is blowing up. I’m gonna tell you some of the best player’s. One of them is ronaldo he is one of the best now I’m gonna list them off. Messi,Neymar That’s all I know. But what I do know is that Messi is the GOAT. Another thing i found  about soccer. There are many reasons that soccer is the most popular sport in the world and keep reading to see what they are. One of the major reasons why people are so passionate about the game is its simplicity. The rules are easy to understand, there is not much equipment needed, and anyone can play.

In China, the first soccer balls were made from sewn clothing that was filled with rubble. In Europe during the Middle Ages, soccer balls were made from inflated pig bladders. Today most of the balls are made from layers of synthetic leather while the bladders inside the ball are made from latex or butyl.

The Chinese were the first to get their kicks by kicking balls into nets for sport in the third century B.C., and the game known globally as football was formalized in England in the 19th century. But the predecessor of most modern ball games can be found in the Americas.
