Football Team Observation Paper

What I have found over my one week observation on the football team is that some particular grades are not fond of eachother. If the football team had to split into age groups and interact with only the one group that they picked the senior and junior class would definitely not choose the freshman class.

The last day of my research was Friday and the boys had a football game. They all were acting as one family and getting along. They were all talking about the game that was going to take place later that day and how they thought the outcome was going to end
