GRAD SPORTS
THE FAST BREAK
-Aliyah Holmes
The future Griffin Track Team
With the upcoming track season coming, a lot of students are preparing to give their all into the sport. I interviewed some scholars on the issue,¨I think that the season will be better this. I will make sure to give it my all¨ said one athlete. ¨I've been exercising a lot. Hopefully I would make the team¨ said another scholar. I asked scholar Nolan Powell about his opinion about the season,¨Getting ready for track is hard, but fun at the same time. If track does not work out, I have a plan to try out for the football team. One sport will beat the other¨. Students around the school are already talking about how the team will look this year and it seems to be good. Looks like GRAD will have an excellent track team this year. Be on the look out for your GRAD Academy Griffin track stars.

WWE NEWS BLITZ
Are you a fan of WWE? Do you know what WWE stands for? WWE stands for World Wrestling Entertainment. WWE is a company that deals primarily in professional wrestling. It was founded by Jess McCahon and Toots Mondt in 1952 as Capitol Wrestling Corporation. On September 11, 2016, AJ Styles won the championship in Richmond, VA. On January 29, 2017 John Cena won the championship in San Antonio, TX. Two days before Valentine’s day, February 12 Bray Wyatt won the championship in Phoenix, AZ. John Cena has the highest current reign! Sitting at 13 championships, John Cena is 39 years old and still wrestling. Although he’s not the oldest I bet you have no idea who Bob Armstrong is. He’s the oldest in the game-he’s 76 and continues to wrestle. Mae Young isn’t a wrestler anymore, although she had scene in a 16-Diva tag match in WWE on November 3, 2008 at the age of 87! That's was way too old to still be in the wrestling game but I guess her heart is young. Everyone always wonder if WWE was actual real or just play-play for t.v.? Stay Tuned as we find out the truth.

Sporting Love
Our GRAD scholars went out and about this pass Valentine's. There were many gifts and treaty being passed around all over. Many scholars, such as Whitney Warren, claimed that they were thrilled that they received something. There were many that cried, thinking that they weren't going to get anything. Our young men went out. Out being that there were some young ladies carrying bears bigger than them. Not everyone that was in a relationship got gifts as well. Scholars who have a close bond with one another, like Raven Bloomberg and Everly S, received gifts from one another. “She’s like a sister to me. Always there,” said Raven. Some can say that GRAD found another sport...Spreading love to others.

SPORTS BETTING IN SOCIAL MEDIA
-BY CHARDAISHA ALLEN
Memphis, TN- Floyd Mayweather and 50 Cent put a million dollars on rapper Soulja Boy to fight singer Chris Brown in a pay per view!
“When Soulja Boy wins , I want my money from everybody!!! Lol”
Some made a post on facebook that read: “Who wanna bet on Soulja Boy Vs Chris Brown”
The comments were as follow:
“$400 on Breezy”
“Soulja is going to win."
“I got 250 Chris putting in work”
Sports betting is a dangerous thing!
We at the GRAD GRIFFIN CHRONICLES STRONGLY ADVISE against any sporting betting! The rise of sports betting is on the rise as social media is such a common place for high school scholars and athletes. We ask that you Do not place bets on sports. It is dangerous and can end with you getting hurt. Money is a dangerous tool and people that do not cover bets are often targets of violence. Also, it is illegal and can go terribly wrong. Enjoy the boxing matches, football games, and basketball games but keep your money for paying bills. Be safe and advise your friends that betting is not cool. I know it seems like a cool thing but nothing is cool about losing your life for a dollar.
