Well yesterday I experienced my very first Academic competition, Invitationals. It was a long day, woke up at 6 and left for school at 7 and didn't come back home till like about 4:30. It was a long day of testing, but it payed off at the end. Once the awards ceremony came, I was anxious to know if my name would be called out to see if I had medaled in any subject. Science was called, and I didn't hear my name. Art, same thing. Then it was Economics, which was one of my weakest subjects so I didn't really expect for my name to be called out, but to my surprise I heard "getting the silver medal, from Sunset Purple: Juan Carlos Gonzalez" I was so surprised at this, and proud of my self. I went on to win two other individual medals, bronze in Music, and bronze in Super Quiz. In total I had 4, the fourth one was as a team, for the Super Quiz Relay. I enjoyed my very first competition, very nice. At the end my team ended up winning the entire competition, Sunset's Purple Protozoa, my team, yup we are #1. Very exciting competition.

Oh yeah, I'm back with all of this insight that I have been giving you about the Mavericks, well it may not be a reporter like type of information, but I do in a way do what they do. I work with what I have, okay. So Mavericks had a nice Premiere Week of their own, it's no Bucks type of record, but it's 2-1, by the way, Milwaukee is someone to watch out for, they are undefeated, of course it's early, but still, they are 3-0, but getting back to the Mavs. Mavs won an exciting thriller opening day against Phoenix, the final score of that one was 111-108, in DOUBLE OVERTIME, yeah, that was a tiring game to watch, I stayed up till 1 watching it, but it was worth it. The Mavericks followed that exciting win with a poor loss to the Jazz, it was a game that the Mavs should have won, but the offense dried up towards the end. Although the Mavericks had not had played their best during these first two games, they got it together Saturday against the Spurs. That was one of the best games of the year, not just the Mavericks but in general, but that's just my point of view. Mavericks won with a very well deserved win of 103-84. Dirk Nowitzki and Devin Harris spoiled and stole the night on Michael Finley's return to Dallas. Dirk got back to his old self and had 34 points on the night, while reserve Devin Harris came off the bench and just stole the show, he scored 20 or his 22 career high points in the fourth quarter, it sure was an amazing game to watch, so I can say that if the Mavs took down the Spurs, the Defending World Champions, I think Mavericks are being underrated by most people, so watch out for the Dallas Mavericks.
