Decent Essays
Have you ever seen a 92 yard punt in the NFL or even in college? How about in high school football game? Most of your answers are probably no, unless you were at the Frankton vs. Mississinewa game on October 7, 2016. Jack Rogers, a senior, at Frankton kicked a 92 yard punt from one end zone to the other. It didn’t seem like a big deal at the time.

It is all over social media, on twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. The video has even been on tv multiple times.

According to NFL owners and the league, Bill Belichick ranted endlessly…

    I have a distinctive level of connection with three different sports teams such as the Florida State Seminoles football team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Jacksonville Jaguars. The level of connection I have with the Seminoles football team is an attraction because it is my favorite team. With respect to hedonism, I am attracted to the Seminoles football team because it is fun to watch games, entertaining, and fun to talk about the team.

    Boycott Football Re: “Abolish high school football!” written by Raymond A. Schroth Football is the sport with a innumerable of injuries and deaths.

Every year, every day, every hour, every minute, and every second during the football season at high schools there’s an injured player or a player who perhaps died on the field because of a concussion or his head was hit really hard. Wearing a helmet during the game isn’t enough to protect you from getting injured.…

    Two years ago, I was exposed to one of the greatest inventions of mankind, only outdone by the wheel and the light bulb: the game of chess. I will be the first to admit I am not very good at chess. I do not win often nor am I strategically sound; however I do have fun as a result of the thought-provoking nature of the game. I never penetrated how the game functions. Knowing the basic movements of all the pieces was evidently not the key to winning rounds; therefore, I realized I had a single fatal flaw.…
