We were screaming and yelling chants to get our team and the crowd fired up. Then, it was kickoff time.

My buddy Shawn got the ball on kickoff and ran it back to the 50 yardline. We knew the game was going to be a blow out. It was then that Bryce Thoman ran the ball in for a touchdown. He ran down the field so fast I could feel the wind. Then the bright shiny scoreboard lit up with a score of 7-0 after the extra point.

The opposing team had the ball. We were so nervous. If we didn’t pull this game of we would be done our season and we also wouldn’t be going to the championship. I knew what I had to do.

I stepped in as linebacker right before they snapped the ball. The play was in action. The quarterback had nobody open so he ran himself. He dashed past just about my whole team. Finally it was just me and him.

Before he tried to do a little juke move on me I went right up to him and slammed my body into him. He collapsed in a matter of seconds but I was still standing like an enormous oak tree. I knew he wasn’t getting up after that hit because he started crying. That's when the whole crowd started yelling and screaming with joy until their throats hurt. I could feel the joy shooting all throughout my body. I was shaking like a leaf on tree because of the impact.

“That's what I'm talking about Nassar,” exclaimed my coach “nice job Nassar,” screamed my team. I could feel the adrenaline running through my body.
I knew he wasn’t getting up. It was all up to me. If I didn’t pull it off I would have let me and my team down. I was congratulated by what seemed like everyone for what I had done. I don’t know if I could have been any more proud with

    I could feel the cold, crisp air seeping through my jersey as I watched our struggling defense. Who were jaded and bittered, letting up more than 28 points this game.

    St.Joe got a last minute goal to win the game. Anthony and I packed up the camera and headed down to the field with our team. It was a sad sight.

    When we saw our coaches we loaded the bus with the equipment and ourselves. When we arrived at Upper Perk, 15 minutes later, we unloaded and walked to the field. Since I was co-captain and our captain was out with a concussion, I was leader and led the team out to right field for stretching. While we were warming-up, Upper Perk’s team walked out. As soon as they started to stretch, the teams started to have a “which team is the loudest” contest.…

    The offense was moving the ball and the defense was getting big stops, everything was playing out perfect for us. We got the ball back for our second possession of the half, and on second down I remember the call coming in, spread veer right no motion and thinking this will be perfect. I was designed to be the option guy on the play and knew there was a large chance I would be getting the ball. This is one play we fixed at half and I had all the confidence in the world it was going to be a big play.…

    Then I saw the ball leave the quarterback's arm arm and it was coming right at me. I leaped up in the air and came down with the interception. I showed my coaches what I could do and are now in the starting rotation at corner. This was a big accomplishment for me and made my senior year everything I wanted it to be.

Our football team was playing the number three-ranked team in state for our seventh and extremely important game of the season. As anyone who lives in Chicago knows, October can be a mild month for fall or an extremely cold month, which my princess girlfriend absolutely hates. Unfortunately last year was one of the coldest Octobers we have ever had, breaking the record, which was previously held in 1982. Kickoff was minutes away…
