Personal Narrative: My First Play Football
It was Thursday, September 29, 2016, and the Benedictine Cadets were playing the Liberty
Christian Bulldogs. The team had just gotten off the bus to Liberty Christian and my heart was pumping. I
was ready to play some football. Following warm-ups, it was game time. Of course, the first play was for me, the tailback.
It was forty-four gorilla our most popular play. Immediately following the snap of the ball,I took the ball from the quarterback with

understood how truthful this quote really was. That quote was the only thing I could think about
from then on. I thought that is what we need to do to win. So when I got into the car to start my
journey home those words echoed in my head. “ You cannot just win game physically, you have
to win them physically
