TCA vs. Trenton Peabody

Tonight we will play Trenton Peabody in the second round of the playoffs. They are definitely a good team so all the football players will have to play hard. Hopefully we will pull out a victory. We must win tonight in order to continue on this difficult road to the state championship. The lions have had an amazing season so hopefully it will not all end tonight. The pressure is definitely on for our football guys. Since we were fortunate enough to skip the first round of the playoffs we were able to have a bye week last week so we have had a two weeks to just practice hard.

Trinity Volleyball

This past week the TCA volleyball team competed in the state championship tournament.  Starting on Wednesday at 9 am they played South Green. Unfortunately after a hard game, we lost.  In order to stay in the tournament we had to win our next game against Eagleville.  This game was an extremely good game with fans from both teams cheering as loud as they possibly could for their team.  Thankfully, the Lions pulled out a victory, moving on to the next day tournaments.  Everyone was so excited about what had just occurred and couldn't wait to come back the next day. The next morning the team was anxious about playing Knoxville Grace knowing they had to win to make the next big step in making it all the way to the state championship game on Friday. After yet another good game TCA pulled out another victory advancing to another game that afternoon against Loretto. Both the players and fans were pumped and ready to win. After winning the first 2 sets the players knew they only needed to win one more set to advance to one more game before the state championship. Losing the 3rd set we knew this team was trying so hard to make a come back. Even though the Lady Lions played their hearts out, definitely making the other team work hard, we lost the next 2 sets, kicking us out of the bracket. The volleyball girls had a great season and everyone was still extremely proud of them.

TCA vs. JCM

Tonight TCA will travel to JCM hoping for a 6th victory.  Being undefeated has been great and we hope to continue this winning streak, but we must keep in mind that all this comes from Christ and He is the only one who has given these talented players their ability. The Jackson sun reported that this team is extremely athletic and very fast.  Both coaches have said it's going to be a good game and both teams will have to work hard for a victory.  We will make history tonight in "Rothrock Stadium" playing against the cougars since its such an unusual thing for us to play them.  The coach of JCM, Taylor said,  "TCA is undefeated, and that means they’re a good team right there.” “We’ll have to be at our best and play at our most focused to play with them.”  They also talked to coach Butler about the game tonight and his response was, "There’s nowhere we can afford to slack off on defense.” “They have about four guys that can carry the ball effectively, and their receivers are fast if they get into open space."  The Jackson Sun posted these quotes from the coaches on their website.  Coming from what the coaches said it sounds like it will be an interesting game and definitely worthwhile to come to. I'm excited to go to this game tonight and watch our Lions play, hopefully continuing their winning streak and playing hard for God's glory.

Article on Plagiarism:
1. If I was convicted of plagiarism I would obviously feel bad about it, if I had actually done it, and would probably learn from the experience because it is illegal, so I wouldn't have the right to be mad if I had actually plagiarized anything.  However, if I was convicted of plagiarism and I had not done it I would have been very upset and angry.  They were making such a big deal about it and it is illegal so even if I had not and then been convicted of it I would be extremely angry because that can now prevent them from getting jobs in the future and some of them may have not done that.  It will affect their lives forever because no one wants to hirer a cheater.
2. My parents would probably talk to me about it and tell me how wrong it was, but first they would ask me whether or not I had actually done it and if I said no because I really hadn't done it then they would believe me. However, if I had done it then they would be a little upset with me cheating and tell me not to do it again.
3. If I had plagiarized then I would not deserve a passing grade because it would not have been my work.
4. Not more than it already has.  I've always thought plagiarism was a bad idea because not only are you cheating, you will get caught for it and it could potentially limit opportunities in the future.
5. Don't plagiarize because it is cheating and its illegal.  It is wrong.

In the past week the most controversial video game came out, Grand Theft Auto 5.  Everyone is really into whether this game is right or not and whether or not these so called Christians could possibly be playing this game.  One of the first questions about this game is whether or not playing this game is endorsement.  I would kind of be on both sides when it comes to this question because I don't think if you're playing this game you necessarily accepting war in a way where you think it is good, however, I don't really think there's a point to it.  I would say anyone in the right mind would just be playing this as just a video game for entertainment and if they're are playing it because they get satisfaction from killing people and doing other things such as this, then they probably actually need physiological help.  The next question is what do you get from playing this game?  I can say with pride that I've never played this game so I'm really not sure what people would get from this game, but all I know is that the game is mainly about killing and adultery from what I've heard so I'm not thinking any good could come from this.  The only thing that could maybe, possibly be good about this game is the fact that you get entertainment, however it is DEFINITELY not good entertainment at all.  I feel there are much better things you could be doing with your life than virtually killing other innocent people or even non-innocent people like that's just not right.  Even if you may get this desires to kill people when they make you mad you should control yourself and just back away and mostly go to counseling because that's a little crazy and will probably lead you to doing that one day, which could get you in a ton of trouble ending with you living an awful life of guilt.  The third question is who in your life is playing?  And well I'm not exactly sure who all in my life is playing this because I normally have more important things to talk about than who in my life is playing Grand Theft Auto 5.  I sure hope a lot of people I spend time with are playing this though because it's not good for the mind. The fifth question is should Christians who are indwelt by the Lord Jesus Christ have moral issues with killing people in a virtual world?  Well I'm on both sides again it is just a a game for entertainmeant, but that's not what Jesus would want us thinking aout in my personal opinion.  We are taught to love, but this is not real life so you're not hurting anyone by doing this, unless you constantly obsess on this and it's all you do or think about and especially if you start to believe this is real life.

Tonight TCA will play Adamsville at Adamsville. This is predicted to be a really good game considering both teams are extremely talented. Both Trinity and Adamsville are going into this game without any losses.  Gray said when looking at film of the lions playing that we don't have a weakness anywhere. Most of Adamsville's success has been attributed to the size and depth of the line which will call for hard work from the Lions this evening. We hope our lions will play hard and pull out another victory for the lions.

The world's largest volcano has been found at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.  This volcano is larger than the British Isles.  The volcano is located 1,000 miles east of Japan. The volcano structure rises 2.2 miles above the bottom sea level.  However, this volcano is considered to be inactive.  The volcano covers over 2,000 square miles.  Researchers think this volcano the Tamu Massif is considered to be the largest volcano on earth. Twenty years ago people discovered the formation of this massive beast. There may even be other undiscovered volcanos lurking beneath the oceans waiting to be discovered.
