History of Basketball

Dr. James Naismith is known world-wide as the inventor of basketball. The concept of basketball was born out of his early school days when he played a simple game known as duck-on-a-rock outside his schoolhouse. The game involved attempting to knock a "duck" off the top of a large rock by tossing another rock at it. Naismith served at the YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts, USA in 1891, and this is where the sport of basketball was born. Naismith was faced with the challenge of finding a sport that was suitable for play inside during the winter for the students. Naismith wanted to create a game of skill that could be played indoors in a relatively small space. The very first game of basketball was played with a soccer ball and two peach baskets used as goals. After that, he devised a set of rules for that early game and basketball was created.

Physics: Betterment for the Future
Written and Composed by: John Ricafort D. Dawal

There's Physics in our everyday fight;
The gadgets and weapon in our every flight,
When we want to know more, like when someone will arrive,
Physics brings us explanations and somehow get it when we thrive.

Before we get our lives into acceleration,
We must know when to increase or decrease our motion.
For our every action, there’s an equal and opposite reaction,
Just as what is stated in Newton’s Third Law of Motion.

Physics, for me, can be so much related to love,
When we court someone, there’s a reaction, just trust our God above.
When we fall in love, there’s some kind of gravity.
You may rise to counter it or just be pulled by it, that’s reality.

When we’re doing well, let’s thrive to increase our momentum,
 We must not be a role model for being a hoodlum.
Let’s face the world with curiosity and passion,
It’s 2012, adjust the angles of our lives, project yourself to God, that’s my suggestion.
