Teams gear up for dodgeball tourney March 14
<p>The Superior High School Business Professionals of America held its annual dodgeball fundraiser. </p>
It’s a day that teachers and students, parents and children eagerly look forward to each year. It’s not Christmas or Halloween, but the annual Superior Business Professionals of America Dodgeball Tournament.
Every spring six players unit to form teams young and old and duel it out at the Superior High School Gym. This time the throwdown will commence at 6 p.m. on Thursday, March 14.
Once the rules are announced and the bracket is set, six brightly colored balls are placed across the half court line, teams must touch the opposing wall behind them and wait for, “Three, two, one, Dodgeball!”
Business teacher, and BPA Advisor, Michael Cooper exclaimed, “There is definitely been some rivalries that have built up over the years. And honestly, who doesn't want to smack a member of Staff Infection (i.e., a teacher) with a ball —and get cheered on to do it!”
As his third year as BPA Advisor, he’s not sure when this beloved ball beaning event was created.
“I have asked around and nobody can seem to recall the exact start to it. It seems to always have been here,” Cooper said.
