Interhouse Soccer Tournament

Eversince the first interhouse soccer tournament was held 2 years ago, everyone in the school have been very enthusiastically waiting for this event. Last wednesday, it was again battles between BROMO, Merapi, Krakatau, and Kintamani for the top position, but this time, more PAG volunteers and spirit were shown.
Early in the morning, colorful flags and banners were already hanging at canteen 2, creatively decorated and it really showed both individual and team spirit. Every house team had their own special 'weapons' for the rally, but Krakatau was perhaps the most dominant and outrageous of the four. They brought in some workers to help pump hundreds of yellow baloons to fill their house team's area. While Bromo brought in a lot of trumpets, noisemakers, and some posters that the helpful and faithful blues members made the day before at Marshall's house. Merapi placed some green galons and some other little green props. Kintamani was technically the least 'colorful' of all on that day, but, their cheers beat everyone else in gym 2.
After a dance performance by some students and cheers performed by each house teams, everyone proceeds to the green field, but some of the house representatives and caring students stayed in to clean up their own mess from the explosive rally they had. This really showed maturity from a lot of students.
House teams were all competing to win and score for their house team and grab the illustrous cup. Winning was everything on that day, each house team did their very best to cheer and play for their team. The most dominant team on the day was perhaps Bromo, winning almost in every grade level. At least in senior side, Bromo won against Merapi 4-0, Krakatau 3-0, and drawn with their arc rival, Kintamani 1-1. Even though Bromo was a strong side supported by some very skillful girls such as Adela, Christi, and Grace, Kintamani managed to give them a very hard time. They even scored first, a surprising goal by Anandita, but Bromo hit back an equalizing goal by Narendra. The day proceeded very smoothly, and many PAG sold their products to support the day. In the end of the tournament, Bromo was announced to be the winner of the cup, while Krakatau was awarded as the team with the most spirit on the day.
Even though almost everyone had fun on that day, the most important thing was that many members of the house team showed great leadership and cooperation to help their team in and out of the field.
