~:[CH11 - Day 57]:~ Simply Electric
You win some, you lose some, but sometimes when you lose, you actually win and vice versa. Although the team fell short, they need only to look around them to know that they won. A team that entered CIF unranked, not only made it to the finals, but inspired a school and community, showing a level of spirit that has not been seen in awhile, if ever. The stands were packed and we even took over some of the leftover section from La Salle in front of the sold out crowd. As the announcer, I could barely hear my own voice, which is exactly the way I would have wanted it. The crowd cheered and was truly electric and the team never gave up, fighting until the very end. Tonight, the shots didn't fall, but there wasn't much to fault the team with aside from that. They played hard on defense, the moved the ball and although we made some mistakes, they stayed solid and battled back a few times after being down in the first half. As I looked around, I knew this was one of those moments where you could say we won, despite what the scoreboard said and the students of Cerritos and the community should be proud. Life has been difficult because of the pandemic. I have seen so many lose their spirits, but it was nice to see a revival today. I'm sure we all wish the outcome was different, but regardless, I hope the girls hold their heads up high, because if they looked around, they'll realize they did something that very few could do. Spirit was injected into Cerritos and all that they accomplished did that. So ladies, brush off that loss, hold your head up high and be ready as today was not the end, but just the beginning, as the new stage is set and it's time to continue to this journey. Go Dons!
