Japan Junior High School Sports Competition

So over the weekend the middle schools had their sports competition where they compete with other schools in their prefecture (could be wrong about this and probably am).  I went to see basketball and ping pong.

One of my school's girls team got blown out by around 13 to 60.  One of the girls cried after the other team got off to a 13-0 run in the start.  Sucks.  The same school's boys team did better and won with a score of around 55 to 43.  My other school's girls team ended up winning with a score of around 33 to 20.  Neither team could shoot the ball, luckily for them.

Went to watch ping pong after lunch, and the boys didn't fare so well in either of my schools, but one girl killed it!  She won the whole thing and will go on to the prefectural tournament.  I think it's the prefectural tournament, which would mean my earlier guess of schools in prefectures competing would be wrong.

Picture of my students killing the tournament!
