GRAHAMSVILLE--High school teenagers experience a myriad of benefits from competing in a variety of events offered at schools today.
With the many benefits, however, teens competing in high school events must simultaneously balance educational opportunities and athleticism with overly intense focus on the goal of winning.
Opportunities like spirit week, decoration, lip sync (skits), sportsmanship, food drive challenge, obstacle course, crab soccer, cage ball, relay, tug of war, sportsmanship and brain teaser were all incorporated into school life at Tri-Valley Central School during the week of March 7-10.
All of these develop camaraderie and team building which culminated with the 40th Annual Tri-Valley Competition Night March 10 in the high school gym.
The annual event filled the gym with a standing-room only crowd and
featured all four high school grades 9-12 along with Bill O'Morrissey as
Master of Ceremonies, Kathi Smith, Michelle Decker, Leslye Stryker and
