The sports check competition is heating up. As we enter the final checks, every question matters, every random test of knowledge can make or break you.
For those who don’t know, sports checks are quizzes on current events (news or sports) and general sports knowledge. They come every morning, and often at other times too. They have been a battle of Room 11 essentially the entire time, with Jaylon Thompson and me going at it since day one. I caught Jaylon at the top of the leader board a couple of days ago, but a rough patch threw me back into second place. I've been making up ground and this morning I pulled within one point.
Then, out of nowhere, Carron Phillips throws in a three-point extra credit, "When was the last time the Olympics were held in Los Angles?" All of a sudden, J-Smoove (as his Twitter name yields), has a sizable lead when there's a significant difference between a one-point lead and four-point lead.
Current Standings:
1) Jaylon Thompson 95.5*
2) Chris Bumbaca 91.5
3) Cameron Wolfe 90.5
* 92.5
As my good friend Leon Carter, would say "SCANDAL!"
I also have C-Wolfe breathing down my neck, but I've kept him at bay for a while now.
To borrow a Mr. Carter quote again, it seems that I'm facing some "ADVERSITY!"
I will come through. J-Smoove got lucky this time, but he better watch himself.
