For the very first time in the history of the Bridge International Youth, we finally had our very own "Youth Olympic Games"!!! This event was held on Friday, September 26th.
The result: a success!!!
The youth were truly amazed at amount of work that was put into the creation of this event, especially the PRIZES!!!
These prizes were definitely not CHEAP. And the best part, ALL participating youth got a prize and were deemed "winners"!!! Not a single youth was left out!
There were 3 teams in total, playing round robin games of Football and Soccer.
The only disadvantage to playing during this time of the year was how it got DARK FAST. This is definitely a kink that will need to be worked out for the "2nd Annual Youth Olympic Games"! All of the youth leaders now have a better perspective on how to make the next olympic games not only BETTER, but a lot more FUN too!! And with even more AMAZING prizes!! We will DEFINITELY step it up next year!! Not to worry my youth friends!!
The 3 teams that played were:
- The Triple B's (BBB) 'N Harmony
- The Average Joe's
- The Mohinder's
The team that came out on TOP was:
THE AVERAGE JOE'S!!
Congratulations to all of the team members of the Average Joe's!!
Not only did they win the title of first place, but they also got to win the GOLDEN SPUD CUP!!! And NOT ONLY did they get to WIN this trophy, but they also got to SIGN THEIR NAMES on this very sacred trophy!!! Amazing!!
"Average Joe's" team members:
- Jonathan Whitson
- David Lodovica
- Lyke Guevarra
- Ace Manuyag
- Shanelle Sanchez
- Patrick Roy
- Miguel Aquino (even with a bad ankle!)
- Shaula Cay

Also, a BIG congrats to our chosen MVP of the Youth Olympic Games 2008:
