CHRISTIANA, Manchester – Students of Holmwood High School are still celebrating two days after the school, in one of the most talked-about high school athletics clash, regained its hold on the girls’ title at the 2013 Boys and Girls Athletics Championships.

The sounds of the plastic vuvuzela horn piercing the early morning air,

throngs of students, with broad smiles shouting Holmwood!, Holmwood!, as they march through the community.

Celebration is all around Christiana.

 “We are champions, hard work and dedication has paid off,” shouted one student as he passed the Observer team.

He was one of many who said the victory of the school has left them feeling extremely proud.

In town several adults agreed, sharing in the students’ noisy Monday morning celebration.

“Me really feel proud to see what the students them do, them really make we feel good,” said Michael Thompson as he spoke to a friend Kermit Neil.
