2K20 Gridiron Showdown
This year marks Carroll College’s first annual 2K20 Gridiron Showdown. On the 24th of September (Thursday, Week 10), the students of Year 10 will be competing against each other in a round-robin style tournament, representing their classmates as they clash under the banners of Teams Mulally, Brady, Fogarty and Bonner. The four teams will duke it out in a desperate battle of the ages, all vying for the champion status as winner of the 2K20 Showdown. Students will participate both on and off the field, in a variety of player and supportive positions.
The recent events surrounding the COVID pandemic have unfortunately caused the event supervisors to introduce precautionary measures to minimise the potential spread of the virus, but this has not dampened the enthusiasm generated by the students and teachers alike. Tāne Simons, a student representative of Team Bonner, has this to say: “I’m genuinely excited for this event. It will be the highlight of the school term, and we’re [Year 10] all looking forward to this competition.”
Week 10 cannot come fast enough for Year 10 and their teachers, as they prepare for the 2K20 Gridiron Showdown.
