For adults to attend games, the cost is $5 while students without ASB cards pay $3 and students with ASB cards are free. That's not too much money, espe- cially if you arrive for the JV game and stay through- out the varsity game. Where else can entertainment be found for just $5? Part of having a home game is the home court ad- vantage. Home fans cheer- ing their team on while trying to distract the oppo- sition is what makes home games worth it. Where are the 12th man fans for foot- ball? Where are the loud, obnoxious crowds for wres- tling? why can't SHS bring in crowds that are so loud, the coaches have to shout just to be heard above the din? I've had coaches tell me that certain away games are going to be tough. At first, it sounds like they're talking about the team their going up against, but upon fur- ther discussion, I discover they're also talking about the fans of those teams. Yes, loud, supportive fans make for a hostile gym for the oppos- ing team. A large croWd with the singular purpose of supporting the home By EMILY team can HANSON sometimes even make or break a game. It can be the differ- ence between a basketball player making a free throw or being so psyched out that they miss it. I know the Highclimb- ers don't always have the best records, but each of these teams are filled with athletes dedicated to their sports and these athletes deserve dedication from their community, the people who should be their fans. Perhaps if the stands were full and the crowds were cheering, the High- climbers would have that home court advantage over the away team. Perhaps the loud, supportive crowd could be the difference be- tween Highclimbers losing a close game and them win- ning it.
