The young rookie charged through the crowd of gladiators, who were slamming against each other as if it were there last moments alive. The Quarterback looks at his options and sees the rookie. As he cocks his arm, he focuses his throw on the rookie. He launches the ball over the massacre… he caught the ball! With a path clear ahead of him, he sprints down the open land, forty yards, thirty, fifteen, five! Then the crowd erupted into bursts of excitement. The rookie Bryce Haverstick won the final touchdown…he won the game. Bryce is a very exciting kid, who deserves to be known.
Bryce may be small, but he leads a big life. It all began when he was born

His life leads him through many trials of work. Form baseball to soccer, to football from wrestling. Though he likes all of these sports, he claims football to be his biggest sport. Football gave him some interesting stories, like the one your just about to hear. Bryce knows the play well and waits for the call. The quarterback snaps the ball and Bryce charges. He knocks down his opponent and continues to charge. Furious, the opponent gets back up and chases after Bryce. Once his hands were on Bryce’s, he picked him up and threw him on the ground. As Bryce fell, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. His coach sent him to the ER to be checked. Bryce soon found out his wrist was broken. He has been playing for six years even after his injury. He makes his family proud, especially his older brother.
Even though Bryce is young, he has his future planned out. He wants something in the spotlight. Something like…who knows… The President. He wants to lead his country to the golden age. But if that doesn’t work out. He always has his football carrier, to be the Babe of baseball, the LeBron of Basketball. But with him having a perfect life, he does have a flaw. Though he has a larger heart, he has a large ego. But either way, he will be in the Hall Of

    Jessica Statsky, the writer of the essay, “Children Need To Play, Not Compete,” describes how children’s sports have been changing in recent times. She speaks of how the parents and coaches near fanatical criteria being imposed are negatively affecting many of the children involved with the sports. The concerns she feels derive from the potential dangers that children in the age ranges of six to twelve are exposed to in all organized sports activities.
