Sibling Rival .. y

It starts with the little things, like playing
"house." "You can be the dog, you can be the baby,
and I'll be the mom." And then by the time you get
bored with that, you start to fight over whether you'll
be watching "Hey! Arnold" or "Dexter's Labora-
tory." As we grow older these unnecessary topics

of debate change to who calls shot gun and whose
Perry Jordan
turn it is to wash the dishes. Things change once
again and you find yourself begging your parents
not to have your younger sibling tag along with you
at the movies. But at the end of the day you would
never trade your sibling in for anything in the world,
although you would never admit it out loud. Despite
our differences, we share each other's joy and sorrow
within a sibling intimacy that is beyond definition ... a
relationship that lasts forever ... and that's what being
a sibling is all about. Alexis (12) and Alston (10) Cindy and Jordan

The competition between the two Columbia County high schools can get
really fierce when they collide on the gridiron- like they have for the past ten years.
Although there is a rivalry when their cleats first touch the sideline, most of our
Columbia Tigers have faced their rival before in their past. Whether they met for the
first time at their little league practice or in their third grade classroom, these talented
athletes met sometime before that glorious night in September.
Head Football Coach Craig Howard said, "The boys of each team grew up
together and grew close like brothers. Now that the boys have a chance to play
together, it's kind of like a family feud. After that night though, bragging rights fall to
the victor and the training starts for districts."
It's always exciting to see almost the entire county come out for a particular
game and support the athletes. I think the whole stadium knows the friendly rivalry
that goes on during a game. But when it's over, it's always nice to see the young men
from two different schools interact as friends all over again - it also becomes a
reminder to everyone that we don't, and never will, hate our rival.
