On this precious day, Friday, with the sunlight beaming through the clouds is the day where everyone is being their support for the Mighty Wolves. And since now, technology and the media fly and spread quicker than a writer can type a paragraph, this famous person himself, Mr Stevenson Shawn. Waking up to his normal routine, he overheard on the radio about a school match of California High School about a grand final. Listening carefully to the reporter, he chuckled and told his driver, Harold, to drive him to the college and that he wanted to see the rising star of the match. The next thing, he is gone. Therefore, for the guests by the neighbourhood, they start to fill up the chairs by the stadium, with popcorns and snacks.

Back to the small café, the girls were finishing their orders and planning on what to wear for this upcoming dance. Britney and Stephanie, still taking pictures while Michaela and Gaby head to the car. Gaby said, "Wow, I cannot still believe that we have gotten to the final game of the match. It sure is a lot of pressure for the boys. "You right, Gaby. It sure is. Nevertheless, I am sure that together with the coach and the captain on this match, will be an easy thing. Besides, every guy in that team is good. As a team effort, they are improving. Alright girls, let's be on our way. I am pretty sure that the stadium is getting filled as we leave." With Britney on the wheel, they were off.

Back at the field are the star team, warming up and practicing with the ball. When the team rested, one of them, which was Timothy, gasped and was shocked at what he saw. Following his gaze, the rest of the team looked as well. The first person to shout was Jake. He said, "OMG! That is Stevenson Shawn on the flesh. He is sitting on the best seats in this stadium. Wow. I want to go and take a picture with him like I am in shock now." Then, with the perfect view from the big Jumbo TV, a view from where Mr Shawn was sitting, the whole crowd shouted and applauded. Seeing himself on the screen, he got up and waved.
The team did the same too. By applauding and sending him a huge fist in the air, the crowds go wild. After that moment, the spectators announced the next team, which is the Knight Grillers, the Asian team from Korea. Stepping inside the court, the supporters and the audiences started clapping while standing on their feet. I guess that means to say that they were a fantastic team to play against and really see a great performance on the court. What a privilege they could feel. With two teams setting up for their final national anthem of the season, the speaker starts playing for the American team, the Mighty Wolves.

~American anthem~
Say, can you see
By the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
At the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars
Through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly, yeah, streaming?
And the rockets' red glare
The bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night
That our flag was still there
O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Next, they play the national anthem of the Knight Grillers, translated from Korean to English.

"Until that day when the waters of the East Sea run dry and Mount Baekdusan is worn away, God protect and preserve our nation; Hurray to Korea.
As the pine atop the near mountain stands firm, unchanged through wind and frost, as if wrapped in armor, so shall our resilient spirit.
The autumn sky is void and vast, high and cloudless; the bright moon is our heart, undivided and true.
With this spirit and this mind, give all loyalty, in suffering or joy, to the love of country."

After a fantastic long hour game between this two teams, it has come to moment of finding who won this match.

So since everyone was seated and waiting on the results of the match, a middle-aged man step on top of the small balcony stage, where there was a microphone in front of him, with an envelope in his hand. He said, "Good afternoon, to the audiences and the staff of this stadium on using this special moment for the last 7 days. Both of this team has worked hard and has given they all throughout the season. I want to thank the Principal of California High School on their players to participate the competition. Round of applause to these young boys! I first want announce the following two names for the position as Captain of the season from both teams. From the Mighty Wolves and a student in California High School is number 34, Michael K. Washington. Congratulations son. Great job. "Thanks, Sir." said Michael. From the Knight Grillers, a student from the Hayman University in Japan, South Korea, is Taiwan Li. Congratulations boy, well played Li. I see a bright future in you, both. "Thanks, Sir" said Taiwan. Reaching to the final part of our ceremony, we will announce the winners are. Firstly, let us congratulate all the players and to the supporters by the crowd. Ok, getting to the final line of this, ladies and gentlemen, your winners for the first season is... Mighty Wolves, from California High School! Yeah!"

Suddenly, the crowd once again, shouts in a huge noise, celebrating with kisses, hugs, silly faces and tears in their eyes. For the team, they gathered by the Champions poster.

Time to gather the Trophy and head into to our School. Wow! Michaela and the gang quickly took pictures with the trophy and placed safely in the trophy closet. When they finished, they said their goodbyes and headed home for their special victory dance party that night.
