A Spectrum

Why do schools ban dodgeball? Yes you can get hurt, but really is it any worse than any other sport? I think it is an awesome game. I had not played since junior high. (It wasn't allowed at my high school.) But last Friday I was able to play again. It was a blast. However, it was just my luck that in my first game back, POW! I was hit right in the face when I wasn't looking. Let me tell you, that's just mean. It didn't' really hurt, but it knocked my contact out and made my eyes water for a while. Then after that injustice, my friend Jordan kicked one of the "official dodgeballs" were we using (fancy, huh) and hit me right in the chest. Again, I wasn't paying attention cause at the time we weren't even playing!!!! I must admit I am not the best player. I am not very aggressive until close to the end. However, I did make one awesome catch off another teammate who tipped the ball up and hence got out one of the best players on the other team. Hee hee. Happiness is a caught dodgeball.
