That doesn’t go as plan and he gets sacked in the backfield. GC fans are terrified because we just lost a few yards, but it isn’t over just yet. The team huddles up and the quarterback calls another play. Its looks like we’re going to run the same play that gave us a gain of fifteen. The center hikes the ball and just like before, he gives it to the running back. Everyone in the stands trying to look past all the players on the field to see where the ball is going. Suddenly, we see a black jersey come out of a pile of other jersey. As fast as lighting Greene County is running down the field aiming for a touchdown. The announcer once again “he’s at the thirty, the twenty, the ten, touchdown!” That seals the deal with only a minute left until halftime. Washington Wilkes fans sits with disgust all over their faces. Our rivalry that thought were going to blow us out, now has to go into half-time with a tied game. The fans happy as ever, can now go into the third quarter with all hopes that we can win the game. The band now playing the Greene County Tigers theme song, “Eye of the Tiger”, in good…
Its 6am Saturday morning, the parking lot is vacant. Staring down the road you see a line of cars as they file in one after another. By 9 o’clock the sweet aroma of ribs, burgers and hot dogs permeate the air. Friends, families and strangers alike tremble in the anticipation of Game Day. Though there are hundreds of college football programs, there is no better game day experience than that of The University of Southern California Trojans.…
The October air was brisk, the sun had set, and the moon had risen.The lights and speakers could be seen and heard from miles away. The night had taken over everywhere except inside the Varsity Stadium where time seemed to stand still on friday nights with a thousand or two fans of all ages in attendance. This is Michigan high school football. Every year there is one game that has more fans and more energy, the homecoming game. Playing in this game is like a movie or video game. You have the spotlight on you. As a sophomore in high school, this was my first time playing in a homecoming game. This game changed will have an everlasting effect. On the first drive out of halftime, I tore my MCL on a missed field goal.…
Le Fou was a spectacular musician who loved to perform in front of spectators, and he loved playing all assortments of instruments. But by far, his favorite was the harp. Le Fou was infatuated by all string instruments, almost to the point of insanity. He enjoyed the feeling of the soft but coarse cords against his fingers. So when Le Fou heard the rumor of the golden harp he was obsessed, he had to find this “magical instrument”.…
Football is an amazing sport that most people enjoy watching and playing. There are some games that can be surprising like these two teams who played on a Friday night Ely Tigers and Dillard Panthers. A series of people who wasn't able to attend wonder what really happened and just how great of a catch it was when Donnel Wilson caught the winning touchdown pass. (The introduction of Football DBQ)…
The stadium was filled to full capacity with women, men, and children. I could not spot an empty seat in the place. Many spectators were dressed in colors of black, blue, and gold. However, the overall majority of the crowd was dressed in black and red. After the singing of the National Anthem, the football teams flooded the field in grandiose fashion. The crowd became ecstatic. The fans were cheering so loud that neither my girlfriend nor I could hear each other. The first quarter of the game seemed rather dull and mediocre, however by the second quarter, things had become incredibly intense. At the commencement of the second quarter, I could see athletes perform almost superhuman feats such as running, jumping, and throwing. The athletes appeared to be demigods with helmets and modern day gladiators. One player got hit so hard that he was carted off the field. Nonetheless, the game continued without a skipping a beat. During the second quarter, fans continued to cheer and chant for their teams. As the masses roared, the players responded by playing more aggressively. As the game went on, each team proved to be a force to be reckoned with. Each time one team scored, the other team replied with a score of their own. The back and forth scoring kept the fans on edge and tense. By the end of the second quarter, the game had become tied with only the second half…
Undefeated in the regular season and on a role going into this Friday night game, we were the team to be beat. Our seventh grade team, quarterbacked by Alex Watermeier, had been together for three years and had built up an unbreakable chemistry. Although we had never made it this far in the yearly tournament, we were pumped up and ready…
It is the final play of the game, as the Spartans are one play away of advancing to the playoffs. The quarterback drops back he looks for an open receiver; he finds one, he releases the ball. The crowd watches in awe. As the ball drops into the receivers hands and he tip-toes into the end-zone for the game winning touchdown. It is these situations in a game that make me love football. Most people know what football is, but many do not know how it is played. Today I will be breaking down the game piece by piece.…
After many long practices I got my chance to be in a game. As I was brought to the field I saw the fans and cheerleaders getting ready for the game. Before the game started, the coaches and captains walked to the middle of the field on the fifty yard line. The coin toss was determined and I was ready to be kicked away. The game was brutal with many massive hits pummeling the ball carrier and me; I was…
In other words, never sit down to write until you have thought long enough and hard enough about one subject to have an opinion about it—an opinion that you believe in and want to share, one that you can defend logically and honestly. Most writing skills are relatively easy to learn, but it is pointless to learn them—in fact, you will find it almost impossible to learn them—unless you have learned the first rule, the unbreakable rule, of essay writing:…
Brazil is a Latin American country known as the biggest country in South America and the fifth largest in the world. Brazil is also a political and economic leader in South America in terms of international trade. Brazil is about to become a dominant power on the international scene. One of the great advantages Brazil has for energy potential comes from having several different climate zones. A dry, sunny climate in the center gives opportunity for the solar sector to be developed, and windy coasts, especially in the southeast, allow for great wind power potential. What’s more, the Amazon River and its tributaries offer an abundant potential for hydropower. With 190 million inhabitants and one of the largest areas of the world, Brazil has to deal with real challenges for its energy supply, especially if this country turned to a sustainable way of producing energy. Thanks to an ideal climate for sugarcane, Brazil has a huge resource for supplying the world with the clean and renewable fuel.…

Drums are essentially the skeleton (Allusion) of modern music and the most commonly known instrument in the percussion family. They establish the rhythm and tempo of most musical pieces and come in all shapes and sizes, very similar to clothing (Analogy), with each having its own distinct style and intended sound. These include the hand drum, kit drum and oversize drum (Repetition). Being considered the most important part of many genres of music, it has become essential to include a type of drum in most musical compositions. Without a drum to create the paced structure for the other instruments and vocals to follow, the piece will noticeably lack the overall sound of completed music. The drum is required to give the artist a starting point they can use to progress and grow on. Musical pieces that lack the structure the drum provides, sound naked (Personification) and as if they are missing a key component that makes for an enjoyable listening experience.…
Throughout our lives we meet many people. We impact others by our own actions every day. Sometimes we impact them without even realizing it. And people will impact our lives and our hearts forever. You may just have a simple conversation with a stranger on a bus, and before you know it, both individuals have a changed perspective on something. Or perhaps you’ve known the person your whole life and they have impacted you just as much or even more. These influential people come into and fall out of our lives so fast, it’s often hard to keep track. But it’s always good to remember your past, remember who you have met, remember who you know, and remember who is continuing to impact your life even today. These people are the ones that matter. They are who have helped make you who you are now. My dear friend Alex is someone who will always impact my life in so many ways.…
