However, I was in a package against Big Lake and I shut down receiver. The following week in practice while I was working harder than even Coach Herberg came up to me and said “I’m starting you at the corner this week. You had a good game and you deserve it. Good job kid.” We were playing Willmar and I was very nervous. It was my first varsity start. Coaches said that was normal and said for me to relax. I played extremely well and I was very proud of myself. The following three weeks I have started and became more confrontable with playing on Friday night. My focus level was as high as ever and I was improving my talent day by day. Hard work does really pay off. I worked hard and did my job throughout the year and on the field. I listened to my coaches and stayed true to myself and I sure did pay off. I’m playing varsity and had kept the promise I had with myself last…
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.…
We were missing a few players because of grades or being out of town. Being a freshman, I didn’t think that I would get in very much but maybe a little. However, I was still really nervous for the game. Once we got to the locker room, we talked about our game plan-don’t have quick possessions that don’t result in anything but a turnover. If we did that, we would be…
The first game of the intramural season had hype behind it because part of the lacrosse team was playing another team full of lacrosse players. We started our warm ups more organized then I thought, when we did lay up lines and practiced pull up jump shots. One thing you should know about me and basketball is I take it extremely seriously. In fact in all sports I’m an intense competitor. The game started off pretty slow, because both teams weren’t shooting very well. We were down 5 to 2 when I hit a 3 pointer to tie the game 5 to 5. The game was intense, due to my lacrosse teammate Kyle Coats had his shooting sleeve on and was laying the ball up like it was no ones business. My team responded to every punch though and with the time running out in the…
This month is crucial for anyone who wants to get a hint of playing time on Friday nights. Any of the guys who play football will do anything to get on the field, if a coach asks you to play a position they will do it just to get playing time. In my situation, I had two seniors fighting for my spot on the offensive line. I knew that both of them did not want to sit on the sidelines and watch some sophomore play in a spot they could of had. So the month of july I had to play and do almost everything perfect to earn a spot on varsity football. The camp was just wrapping up and I was to be told if I was going to be stay or be brought back down to the sophomore level. It was a super hot Wednesday, I could see the heat beating off the black track. As waves of heat beamed up of the turf /Coach came up to with the sternest look on his…
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…
I was right at the 5 yard line when the girl on the other team tackle me right to the side line we a got up she patted my shoulder pads and said,” nice run dude you were close but i got you,” all of my team ran to me and were cheering so loud the other team got mad but i did not care it was a home game at the huntley high school. I realized that you should never like celebrate too early or you might not get anywhere and you should all have good sportsmanship to any and any one because you never know what will happen to the person that you did not give the respect to might do. Also it really does not matter if you win or lose what matters is that you have fun i say that because the other team were like mad sad and some were even crying because that could be their last game and disappointed in there self you can just see it in there eyes and their actions they they were kicking the turf and tackling each other because they did not make it to the playoffs i ran over there to break it up and i told them it does not matter if you win or lose what matters is that you have fun and they said,” yay that's what it's really about thanks,’’ and i ran back to my team and i broke us…
So we kinda knew we were gonna win, but we didn’t want to jinx it and lose. We had a fantastic game and won 14-1. I had a total 0 plays out in the outfield and that sure was a whole lot of fun. I went 3-4 when I was batting which is ok but I could have gone 4-4, Since I wasn’t seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand I was late on the ball and was all in all, a bad game. Our season was doing really well and ended really poorly, It ended by us losing 9-1, We were not happy nor were we upset that we lost. but we understood we needed to get better. Whereas High school baseball is gonna be way better cause we don’t play the same teams we play easier teams. Which is nice because we will win much easier and not have any competition. The high school team consistently wins regionals which is cool and they have been to state a couple…
On November 6, 1869, Rutgers and Princeton played what was billed as the first college football game. In 1876, a coach named Walter Camp, who is considered the “Father of American Football,” helped produce the first rules of American football. Now over 147 years later football is still a popular sport watched by millions of americans. American football is a sport played by two teams of eleven players who attempt to get a touchdown. Whoever scores a touchdown will gain six points for their team.The players use a football which is a oval shaped ball made from leather. It takes about 600 cows to make one full season's worth of NFL football’s. The 2 main football positions are offense and defense. The offense is the side which is in…
The crowd was roaring and happily jumping from the intersection that just happened against the TCU. Everyone was ecstatic as the students waved their white towels and cheered on our team. The smell of donuts and popcorn filled the air as the game heated up. Waves of yellow and maroon filled the stadium like one united nation. During the third quarter, my friends and I sat down since we be The game was 3 to 23 and we all began to get tired and lose hope of the Gophers winning against TCU. Suddenly, my friends and I heard “Hey! Stand up. This is a game not mosque” yelled angry boy two benches behind us. At first we didn’t think much of it but he kept yelling. As my friends and I looked around us, we realized the guy was pointing at us. I was surprised as the rest of my friends. I wondered why he was doing that to us? I felt embarrassed and annoyed at the same time because of the guy attention was drawn to us and he ruined our…
As I woke up to the smell of French Toast and bacon while my mom was yelling for me to get in the shower, all I could think about was that days’ game. The moment I got to school, I immediately had to rush to the team meeting before class. While every other team meeting was the usual, brief,…
I was extremely nervous despite the fact that everyone had told me I was going to make varsity since I had done so well at camp. There were about 23 people trying out for varsity and only 18 could make it and so I had a good chance at making the team but that still did not calm my nerves. Before we went out to the brand new turf field for tryouts I was psyching myself out and was doubting myself in all ways possible. My hands were shaking, I was sweating, all while listening to the calm chatter of everyone else echoing loudly in the locker room. “You can’t make varsity; the others are just too good” I was telling myself. During tryouts the pace was fast, the humidity was high, and our spirits were just as high. We had to do lots of ball work and ball skills on the first day and I was messing up completely at times. At one point I screamed out in utter anger because I just could not get my feet to do the correct things. I was so angry with myself because I knew I could do better than what I had done that day. I went home feeling utterly defeated but ready for the next day because there were two days of tryouts. The next day I felt absolutely great and I was doing everything right! I was passing every drill while receiving complements from my coaches. I felt great and as I was walking up the big, blue steps to the locker room, I knew that I had done great at…
I gave the coach warning to hurry up with the sub. The girl's basketball coach was at the scorer when she heard me say that. The very next sub was from West Creek, they didn't take as long as Northeast has with their subs. The girl's basketball coach starting screaming "why don't you throw the ball in for them, and they are taking long!" As I'm administering the free throws, I can hear her yellowing from the table. I stop the game, ask her to remove herself from the table. She wasn't a book keeper, score keeper, or timer. I went to the boy's head coach and told him to control your coaching staff. I told him she is the head coach for the girl's team and I will access a technical foul to you if her behavior continues. I The boys coach from Northeast didn't understand why he would get a technical. I explained it to him, and just said whatever. The girls basketball coach from Northeast was very angry at this time and told the scorer and time keeper I want their names so I can report them. During half time, the score and the time keeper told us the girls coach from Northeast Middle School wants your name. I told them to give it to her, we didn't do anything wrong. While in the hallway talking to the…
We were just going through football practice and it just was the same as every other day. We would practice hard and go through all of the conditioning. We just recently played our first football game against Lovel. That consisted of two quarters, which the Freshman played the first two quarters and the Varsity played the second two quarters. At the end of the game, it was 45 to 17, it was not close at all. That was a good way to start off the Freshman year. We were going to play the Cody Broncs in a couple of weeks, but things changed very fast. One of my favorite quotes is “Sometimes it’s the Journey that teaches you about your destination.” (Drake). That Sunday morning after playing Lovel everything in my world was flipped upside down.…
