Students and staff took a dose of healthy competition to the Del Mar College gym basketball court in an epic inaugural “March Madness Showdown.”
On March 27 the madness began with the free-throw contest. With sign-up open to players and fans, the competition was fierce. As the competition narrowed down to the top scorers, Andres Garcia walked away the free-throw contest champion.
“It took hard work and consistency,” Garcia said of his win.
Finally, it was time for the teams to take the court, the Helm Holders versus Valdar’s Warriors. After four quarters of friendly competition, the Helm Holders took the victory over Valdar’s Warriors.
Helping his team to victory Gabriel Franco was named MVP of the inaugural showdown. “It took great teamwork,” said Franco humbly.

Irritated by Donald Trump’s indirect answers to questions and Hillary Clinton’s tendency to fluctuate on her interests and standards, James Hinojosa decided to not vote this year. “The candidates don’t really appeal to me,” Hinojosa said.

Note takers are paid to take notes for a student with…
