For most people, sports are everyday things. Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Volleyball, Softball, Football, Simming, Wrestling, and many more sports are played by many people. Inside of school or outside of school. WMS also has sports teams including 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Now, you get to find out the favorite sports of 7th graders at WMS.
We (Zayd Moro, Steven Apollo, and Zahir Miranda Flores) interviewed 10 7th graders at WMS on what their favorite sport is and why and what lesson the sport teaches. Throughout, Braylen Sandklev, Blake Roe, Montrell Moody, Eli Hercules, Brandon Camacena, Bronson Linder, Ashley Magana, Daniel Crowley, Jacob Flores, and Andrew Ryes, Soccer was chosen the most.
In 3rd place we have Basketball which was chosen by Braylen Sanklev and Blake Roe. Sandklev said, “Basketball because I was born into liking it and I’m really good at it. Basketball teaches me teamwork.” Roe with a similar explanation said, “Basketball because I’m pretty good at it and it’s just fun. Basketball teaches me confidence, teamwork, and hardwork.” Even though Basketball is fun and can teach you lots of things, it isn’t the favorite sport of the 7th graders at WMS.
In 2nd place we have Football which was chosen by 7th graders Montrell Moody, Jacob Flores, and Daniel Crowley. Parts in the sport such as teamwork, hard hitting, and crazy plays were used to support their reasoning. Moody said, “Football because I like the dedication and teamwork you have to put in to be good and it’s overall a fun sport to play. It teaches me teamwork, how to be dedicated, and to provide hard work to get to where you need to be. I would also like to add my favorite player who is Malik Nabers and my favorite team is the Giants.” Moody’s response also shows how someone can easily be personally connected to a sport. The other 2 responses were similar from Crowley and Flores saying how they like the sport because of the hard hits and craziness. Each of these students stated how football teaches discipline and hardwork. Even though Football might be a good sport that can also teach a lot, it still isn’t the favorite sport of students at WMS
