It’s the only time you’ll see or hear SOUL teachers teasing their students about failing, taunting them with posters around the school that clearly state “STUDENTS WILL LOSE;” students, on the other hand, vow that this year they will win. The back-and-forth banter is all part of the school’s fun and competitive spirit, and considered pretty “routine” in the weeks leading up the school’s Students vs. Staff basketball game.

Last week, SOUL’s annual basketball tournament brought out the school’s best players (from the school’s boy’s and girl’s basketball teams) and some rusty, and not so rusty, “old-timers” (staff). Both teams went head-to-head for the golden prize – bragging rights.
