Dewa
Athena and Paman Gober 2017
Dewa Athena is an anunual event in
SMA Negeri 3 Bandung, it was held almost every year. It’s a sport event where
the tenth and eleventh graders can participate in many kinds of sport
competition like basketball match, soccer, dodge ball, badminton, relay race,
tug of war, volley ball, and others.
This event was held for 5 days. Two
days each for the tenth and eleventh graders’s competition and one day for the
finals. For this year, it was held on 23rd to 25th of March, 1st and 8th April
2017. Since I am a tenth grader, I will only tell you guys the Dewa Athena for
the tenth graders.
For us, it was held on 25th March,
1st and 8th April 2017 and it’s located on our school field, Lapangan Bali. The event start at 7 o’clock
in the morning and it’s start with an opening ceremony. After the ceremony,
each class was given a schedule and a liaison officer (LO), a person who helps
us with our schedule and communicate with the committee. Our first match is the
relay race against acceleration class. Because of a miss communication between
us and the LO, we are almost eliminated but luckily, they gave us another
chance and we compete in the relay race which we lost.
The next match is the soccer match.
For the soccer,badminton and dodgeball branch, each class have to send two
groups, one boy team and one girl team. I will tell you about the girl team
first. For the girls, first we played soccer againts class X-Science-3. Most of
the girls in my class are so good at makeup and feminime things but are bad at
sports so we ended up losing in this match. It’s also went the same for dodge
ball where we up against X-Science-1. All of the girls are either avoiding the
ball or tried to catch the ball but failed. We lost in both soccer and dodge
ball but in badminton, we’re up for a comeback. Our players, Desi and Qinthari
shocked us because they played well. We didn’t expected that they can beat
X-Science-6 and X-Science-8 quite easily. With their victory, for the first
time, the girls group went to semifinals. On the semifinal, we’re up againts
acceleration and it was an intense match. Their score are so close making us,
the supporter felt tense. But in the end, we lost about two points from them.
That’s the end for the girls team.
Next, is the boys. For boys, they
played basketball,soccer,badminton and dodgeball. The first match is the
badminton one where Haykal and Muhtadi played for us. On the first match, they’re
up againts X-Social where they won the match but the second match againts
X-Science-5, we lost because Haekal who replace Muhtadi who’s sick got injured
before the match so he can’t played very well. Then, the soccer match. First,
we’re up againts X-Science-5 and in this match we can beat them quite easily
since Rafli score around four goals for us so we won. Then, we compete againts
X-Social where our goalkeeper was hurt by one of X-Social’s team member. It
created a scene for a while where our classmates run up to him and ask if he’s
alright while the player who hurt him was replaced since he done something
which he shouldn’t done. In the end, we lost againts them but it’s alright. Next
up is dodgeball which I can’t believe that the boys can play so well and bring
us to the final game againts X-Science-6. Well, me and my friends are
technically didn’t not expected the boys will win againts X-Science-6 since the
boys came from X-Science-6 are a bit to atheletic and a bit of stronger. The
results are just like i expected to be, we lost but it doesn’t matter, we won
the second place. It also went well in the basketball match. Where our class
got into semifinal. In the semifinal, we’re up againts X-Science-2 where we
ended up losing the match because X-Science-2 are too good on this sport.
For the boys and girls group, beside
the relay race, we have tug of war, volley ball, and gobak sodor. Gobak sodor
is an Indonesian traditional games where they are two teams, one who guarded
and one who attacked. For tug of war, volleyball and gobak sodor, we lost the
game but we enjoyed and have fun playing that games together.
There’s also another annual event in SMAN 3
Bandung which related to sports. Paman Gober is an event where students and
teacher go cycling together around Bandung. This event was held on the same day
as the final for Dewa Athena which is on 8th April 2017. In this event,
students can choose either to bring their own bike or rent the ones the school
provides.
It was an amazing
experience for a tenth grader like me. I hope next year both Dewa Athena and
Paman Gober will be better and more fun that this year.
