A beautiful warm less humid day greeted the a few 2010 graduates who competed in the Tennis Tournament at the Ocean City Tennis Center on 61st. street. The eventual finals match pitted two friends who had played earlier in the week to a very different outcome. With the Championship on the line Amy made it look easy over her friend Kyle. In a week that featured the longest Wimbledon Match in History this was as Amy put it...Lopsided!

Later after an evening shower cooled things off the 2010 graduates played some Dodge Ball at Northside park on 125th street. 2010 Graduates then proceeded to Planet Maze on 33rd street where the grads competed in Lasertron Laser Tag and Rock Climbing.
There were many experienced climbers climbing the rock, but a few seniors had never climbed due to their fear of heights. With encouragement from on-lookers and volunteers even these 2010 graduates made it all the way to the top of the Rock and realized to never say Can't!!!!!

A blistering hot & humid day kept many 2010 Graduates out of the competition at Maui Golf Miniature Golf Tournament 57th street. They sure missed a record setting winning score of 30 for the 1st place winner Ashton of North Carroll H.S. ! Of course Ashton said it was hard to call this a great win since there was little or no real competition. Now normally that sounds like over-confidence , but he is right there really was little or no competition.
