The Agony of Defeat

There were 20 schools competing at Book Battle district. 

The kids were all super excited going in but alas none of our teams placed this year.

It was a tough defeat. We lost the first round because of an unfair scoring rule. They said they would change it next year. There was a bad question and the kids challenged the question. They agreed it was a bad question and threw it out but the other team still got 2 points for the author. Not fair...if it's a bad question there should be no points. The second round the just got beat fair and square. Ethan had a total melt down. Sean shed a few tears. This was their second year and they had never lost a match so losing was a new experience.

Sean had a lacrosse game at 12 in the field that connects the elementary school where book battles was being held to the junior high. That was super convenient.

Tyson and Milo came after lacrosse and they played computer games until 8.
