Letter and Collage

Dear Me in Grade 9,

Expect high school to be a lot harder than you think it will be. Classes are harder, homework is longer, and spare time slips away. Academic courses get much harder over the years, so i would recomend that you drop down to applied in some subjects. As far as athletics goes, you won't be able to play several sports anymore. You should pick the won that you excell at the most and just focus on it.

Now back to academics. Never leave projects to the last day. if you do, don't expect to get any thing better than a 60. And just so you know, not a lot of universities except 60's. You must organize your schedual and make time for all your assignments if you wish to obtain an 80 percent average. There will be no time to sit on the couch and watch TV after school. All of your time will be devoted to training for whatever sport you choose along with your tremendous amount of homework.

I chose the boy carying the books because it represents tha large amount of homework in grade 11.
I chose the track athlete because it represents the single sport that i will do in hight school.

Argo star Owens hopes NFL works out

Chad Owens, the Canadian Football League’s top special teams player, has worked out with three National Football League teams in hopes of returning to the U.S . Richard Burnosky, Chad Owens agent, said that Owens "may sign in the near future if we can agree on a contract." Owens, who had 2,701 yards on kickoff and punt returns while scoring four return touchdowns, is in his option year and can pursue NFL work. He spent parts of three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tampa Bay Buccaneers before signing with the Montreal Alouettes in 2009. He was traded to the Argos last spring and was a fixture on special teams and as a wide receiver. Winnipeg Blue Bombers defensive end Phillip Hunt, who led the CFL in sacks, and Montreal offensive lineman Josh Bourke have had tryouts with Cleveland. Saskatchewan Roughriders receiver Andy Fantuz has worked out with Pittsburgh, Minnesota and New England.
I do not think that the CFL get enough respect. As soon as there is a standout player in the CFL everyone says "He might be good enough for the NFL." People treat CFL players like they are high school athletes, with only the best going to play football in college (the NFL). They have to realize that CFL athletes are professional athletes. They are just as good as NFL athletes. People just need to give the CFL more attention.

Teenage Giant Touted as India's Yoa

 Satnam Singh Bhamar of New Dheli, India is a 7-foot-2 15-year-old hoping to do for basketball in India what Yoa Ming did for basketball in China. Bhamar just finished a three month training program at the IMG basketball academy in Florida. He was among eight players, four boys and four girls, chosen to attend the academy after the Basketball Federation of India recently joined sports management company IMG-Reliance. “I have to work very hard on my speed, power and agility to do well at the top level,” Bhamar said. He say there is a huge gap in the standard of players in india and the United States. Bhamar’s father Balbir Singh Bhamar, who stands 7 feet tall, couldn’t pursue basketball due to a lack of opportunities. " I am really lucky to have gotten the chance and I want to make my family, coaches, and country proud by doing well," said Bhamar. “He is focused, hardworking and has tremendous potential. One star player like this in NBA could mean a big boost for the game in India,” said Harish Sharma, a secretary for the Basketball Federation of India.
I think that it is great that we are finding new talent around the world in places that we would not expect to find any for a certain sport. Bhamar would give the NBA some "new blood" since most of the players today are American, and to a lesser extent Spanish.

Raptors Lose to Knicks by 31

The Raptors suffered a horrible 31 point loss to the Knicks on Sunday. New York's Amare Stoudemire lead his team with 31 points and the Knicks made 12 of 27 three-point attempts. “We didn’t do a very good job running them off the three-point line,” said Triano. “We just didn’t do a very good job covering them on the perimeter.” The Knick's put up 33 points, 12 of which were three-pointers, in the first quarter. Toronto got within 7 points  in the fourth quarter but never strung together enough defensive stops to really make a run.
The Knicks have won nine of 10 and seven straight on the road. Jerryd Bayless made five three-pointers and led Toronto with 23 points while Andrea Bargnani had a tough shooting day (8-19 from the floor) and had 22.
In my opinion, the Raptor's need to work on their defense a lot more in practice. They seem like their out there to score point for themselves. They don't seem to care about playing defence. The only player who actually hustled back on defence was Jose Calderon. The Raptor should not expect to win until they start helping Calderon out on defence.
