basket ball

room 11 started their first basket ball game yesterday. Team New Zealand had victory against Slovakia and Paraguay (my team) lost against Italy. This is how it works every time you score a goal you get one jelly bean, for a win against a team is three jelly beans and a draw is 2 is two jelly beans. next week team Paraguay is going to vs Slovakia and Italy will vs New Zealand.
