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.

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.
