Dewa Athena
Dewa Athena is a
sports competition among 10th Graders or 11th Graders in 3
Senior High School Bandung. It was held separatedly in three Saturdays – on March
25th (elimination), April 1st
(semifinal), and April 8th (final). It took place in Lapangan
Bali.
March 25th
– 1st DEWA ATHENA
We were asked to
come at 07.00 to follow the opening ceremony but then it started late. After
the speech from Leader of OSIS was being read, Dewa Athena was started.
The first competition
for X Acceleration is basketball at 07.55-08.20. The players from our class was
Raihan, Yahya, Dio, Ernest, and Ziyad. They played against X IPA 6. In the middle of the game, Yahya was sometimes replaced
by Maher. They played very well, but our rival did it better. We lost the game
so we wouldn’t be playing basketball for the semifinal. But it doesn’t matter,
a loss wouldn’t lower our class’ spirit!
The next game was
Gobak Sodor. Our class’
representatives were Maher, Yahya, Alvira, Hafsa, Dila, Gita, Raihan, Adeline,
Kevin, Ziyad. We fought against X IPA 4. Gobak Sodor is actually one of
Indonesian traditional games. In the first round, our class was the guard, we
had to hinder our opponent so that they won’t pass the border line. In the
second round, our class was the one who had to pass the guard. We lost this
game. Most of our players were hit by the guard so they couldn’t make it to the
next line. But we had so much fun in this game!
Our next game was
relay run again. Dio, Adel, Gita, Ziyad faced X Social. This was the
quarterfinal round. Our players ran faster than our opponents and yes, we
reached the finish line first! We would continue joining estafette run
competition in semifinal round.
From there, we
went back to the field. Najwa, Adel, Alvira, Hafsa, Dila was going to play the
girls’ futsal, playing against X IPA 6. The goalkeeper in the first round was
Najwa. One goal was made by our opponent in the beginning of the game. After
that, Hafsa changed Najwa’s position and Adel was replaced by Gita. We
continued the game for two rounds but unluckily we lost the game. No problem,
we still had some games to go!

At about
12.00-13.15 Raihan, Ziyad, Yahya, Kevin, and Ernest played the boys’ futsal.
Kevin was the goalkeeper. In the beginning of the game I went out to have lunch
(so sorry L) so I don’t know exactly how it was. In
the middle of the game, Maher joined, but then I heard that Maher fell down
until his pants were perforated and his knees were hurt. But result never
betrays work! We won the game and made it to quarter final.
And at last, we
reached almost the end of the day. Our last game, Badminton. It was held at
15.00 so I went to have lunch (again) and accompany my mother buying fruits at
Total first. After that, I went back to Bali field to watch Badminton. Ziyad
and Ernest faced X IPA 5. Our team was in spirit while playing this game, we
played our best and we succeeded! We would continue joining Badminton in
semifinal.
That’s all for
Day-1. I had so much fun during the elimination round even though I myself
didn’t join many games. I’m sooo happy that my class could continue most of the
games to the quarterfinal or semifinal round. I hope for the best for next
week’s Dewa Athena.
April 1st
– 2nd DEWA ATHENA
We were asked to
come to Lapangan Bali at 07.00 also. But, the same as last week, it started
late as it rained the day before so we had to wait until the field was not too
slippery for the competition. It started at about 07.30.
Our class’ first
competition was boys’ dodge ball. We played against X IPA 9. The players from
our class were David, Raihan, Dio, Yahya, Ziyad, and Kenny. At the beginning of
the match, we didn’t lose that much of points but then unluckily they won both
rounds of the game L but it
wasn’t a big deal!
From there we
went to the running track to watch the relay run. Two of our previous players
couldn’t join the competition as Adel had a cramp on her leg and Dio had to
follow PAK. So, they were replaced by Raihan and Dita. The other two players
were Ziyad and Gita. Then the competition between X Aksel and X IPA 7 started.
They ran very fast but our opponent ran faster. Even though we didn’t win this
game, we still had so much fun!
When the relay
run was finished, we realised that suddenly Gita was sitting on the running
track because she had a cramp too. The medical team came and Dila helped
bending her leg. She screamed really hard but thanks God, at last she could
walk again.
Our next game was
Tarik Tambang. We would be facing X
IPA 4. Before we started the game, we were pessimistic to win as our most
valuable player, Kenny, was gone. But, of course, we still had the passion to
win the game. In the first match, we succeeded
in making the opponents lost. But in the second round they did a
comeback and we lost the game. Third round was did and unfortunately we lost
the game. Some of our friends were sad as we had lost three games in a row but
the others gave them spirit and hope that we could still win the other games.
From there, we
went to the field to watch the boys’ futsal. We played against X IPA 3. Most of
our players said that they were tough opponents as most of them were aces. But
what happened? Our class won the game 4-1. Ziyad did a hattrick and one more
goal was given by Raihan. We made it to the next round. Congratulations for
their great job! (at last we could win a game that day)
In the middle of
the game, the girls had to go to the ward to join dodge ball. We played against
X IPA 10. At first there were not so many gap in the points. When the game almost
ended, Hafsa suddenly fell down when catching the ball because her ankle was
dislocated, but at last we succeeded throwing the ball at them. Dila was the
only player left from our team. The girls could continue playing dogde ball in
the next round.
Our next
competition was the boys’ futsal. They would be facing X IPA 6. This time, we
were more pessimistic to win. In the game, our players played very well even
though our opponen played better. The goal was really hard to be made so we
were left behind. But it wasn’t a matter! Our class was very good to have
reached that round!
When the game was
finished, it was break time! Some of us played badminton in the ward to prepare
the next competition (Najwa-Dita and Ernest-Ziyad). Suddenly, Gita came in and
told us that Raihan had a cramp on his leg. We went out and Raihan was already
sitting in pain. The medical team and some other students came to help. At
last, he could stand again even though he seemed to be still in pain.
We went back to
the ward to have some rest. Not a long time after that, we were told to prepare
for volleyball while Najwa and Dita would be playing badminton against X IPS.
Our class had
only a little ability on volley, we were confused who the players would be. At
last, we went to the field and Dila, Gita, Kevin, Adel, and some others were
the players. The game started. We were facing X IPA 7 and they played very
well. We were lost. Yeah, it’s okay! Predicted loss.
Not with Najwa
and Dita. They won the game and they would be competing again at 15.00.
From there we
headed to the ward again to watch Ernest and Ziyad. They would be playing
badminton against X IPA 9. They played very well, but may be they were so tired
and their concentration was not as good as their opponent so they couldn’t
score many points. We lost the game and from their faces, Ernest and Ziyad were
very sad. Actually they tried so hard and it was more than enough for us!
The next game
would be the girls’ badminton, Najwa and Dita would be facing X IPA 9. And the
game was really tight. There were three rounds and at last we won! Najwa and
Dita would be competing again next week. Congratulations and keep spirit!
