So I just won Chickenfest.
Chickenfest is a very special tradition at my HS. Every year my school and my rival school shoot a rubber chicken with a giant slingshot into the basket from half court at the halftime of our boys and girls basketball games (it's a doubleheader).
The ASB President (me), and two administrators take turn shooting. We each shoot three times. It's very intense. You get three points for a bucket, two points for hitting rim, and one point for hitting the backboard.
My team and I were up 11-4 after the girls halftime, and we ended up winning 17-9. The fourth win in five years.
It's pretty cool, I got a giant trophy. I last week I had to remake the slingshot because it broke, and it spent this entire week practicing, and it paid off.
Anyway, thats my good news.
My school won both basketball games too, but that doesn't mean anything because they have piss poor basketball teams.
