BRYLEE WELCH: OK, thank you. Those are some pretty good opinions, don’t you think, Sophia?
SOPHIA SAVAGE: Yeah, I totally agree. But honestly, I still think football is better.
BRYLEE WELCH: Why?
SOPHIA SAVAGE: Well, because the student section definitely has more hype and always has themes. It’s FNL, duh. It literally has its own name to it. People look forward to football because Nixa is well known for it. And I personally just enjoy watching it more.
BRYLEE WELCH: I think basketball is better.
SOPHIA SAVAGE: Why?
BRYLEE WELCH: Basketball is easier to understand. They’re literally right in front of you. So you can see what’s going on. It’s indoors. So you’re not freezing cold like you are for most football games. And it’s just better overall.
SOPHIA SAVAGE: I guess, that makes sense. But I still like FNL more.
BRYLEE WELCH: Whatever. The sports in Nixa make our school what it is today.
SOPHIA SAVAGE: Thank you for listening to Eagle Air Radio. Now what’s your thoughts on Nixa basketball and football?
