Tornadoes Sport

         This year was not a bad year for tornadoes in sport. At first they had a good season in football. The almighty Tornadoes showed how much potential they have. They had an impressive record within 8-3. That wasn't all for football. Two of the players was signed for full scholarship. The captain Kassan Superme got a full scholarship to the University of Massachusetts and Marcquiso Jean for college. It wasn't a bad year for basketball either. Even though their record wasn't necessarily the best they had some really good games. The players played their hearts out and that's all that matters. Some of the players told me that their relationships grew closer than ever. This showed that their team work was remarkable. This season was pretty a special season for one of the players Khalid Muhammad. He scored his 1,000 point at the big rival Orange vs. West Orange game. He dropped thirty points which made the team win, with the help of his teammate Adam who scored 17 points. The boys J.V basketball team had more successful season than the varsity team, some of the players showed their real talent like Galaxy and Nafiz Gomez who are the new favorite J.V players in Orange High School. The Wrestling and the bowling team had a great season the bowling team; won their first trophy for the school they were undefeated. The wrestling team had some great victories they only lost about 3 matches leading the team Shaquan Pridgen made a new record he was undefeated so was his teammate Jonathan. So far Tornados Have shown the best team effort in all sport we expect nothing less for spring sport season.
