“I want to cheer for a football team that won a game. This team is from a school in my district. They played in Ireland. They won against a team from Texas. Their school is new. I'm glad they won. I look forward to them winning more. Go team. Also, another team from my state beat a team from Texas. That makes me happy. Go America. Go North Carolina teams.”
