High School Football Narrative Essay

Great Essays
I remember the feeling of walking out on our soccer field in a uniform line next to my best friends. There was something about knowing that we were going to be the best team our school had ever seen was something truly special. Our school is very well known for our football, wrestling, drill team, and softball. Soccer has never really been a sport that other schools were nervous about playing us in, but we were sure that was going to change this year.
Our first game of the preseason went exactly how we wanted it too. We blew out the team with a score of seven to one. The wins kept coming and our confidence was continuing to rise with them. It was the fourth game of the season and we were playing Waterford. Waterford were the defending state

My team was my family for that year. We practiced all summer together and even won a tournament in St. George as a club team. Halfway through the school year and it was time to begin. We opened up the season with a bang. We won our first nine games straight. In fact, in every single one, we won by a margin of at least two goals. You could say that we were confident in ourselves and where we were heading. The tenth game had arrived, and we were playing the Layton Christian Eagles. LCA was a school that only consisted of foreign exchange students. There was not a single American on their team. We had already beaten them this season five to one but this time we were playing on their field. Their field was a very small one and myself and many of my other teammates could've kicked a ball three-quarters of the way down it. This did not benefit our playing style, we were a team that was at the top of our class in passing and spacing. We ended up losing this game three to two, but for some reason, we weren't down after. The reason we did not feel down after was that all of us thought it was better to have our loses out in the regular season rather than the postseason. We continued through the games and continued to beat up on teams as we did at the beginning of the

    The first quarter was a bit sloppy, a lot of missed baskets, a lot of fouls, and plenty of turnovers, no one had gone on a stretch, after the first quarter the score was Green Run 10 Cox 9. The 2nd Qtr we had a little more action. Freshman Jordan Lewis began to find his rhythm as he would drop 2 3 pointers in the 2nd quarter as well as a few layups at the basket. Jordan Williams came up big becoming unstoppable inside the paint just having his way with the Stallion defenders on both ends of the court. Cox had been hitting Green Run with everything they had but 2 big steals from Ashley James would let the Stallions escape with the lead at the end of the half Green Run 24 Cox 21.…

    This time against Westwood. The weather on this game however was not in our favor. A great wind was rolling in and the sky looked as if it was about to rain. Unlike Freeman, the grass didn't shine and the dirt had many bumps and rocks in the way. As we were on the road to the school, the whole team hoped we will win, I really wanted to win. We hadn’t played them yet so it was a surprise on how they played. Everyone showed up with smiles on their faces. We played our hardest this game and got three outs about half the time without letting them get any points in each inning. One girl on my team actually hit a homerun at this game. This was a big highlight to the game because it raised most of the player's spirits. Almost every inning, we got the max point we could. We were ahead by the last inning and they were down seven points. Unfortunately when the fifth inning hit, they could get as many points as they could. Westwood came back, but we fought back hard. At the end of the game we tied. That was the closest we ever got to…

    Therefore, this was a team of small freshmen and sophomores playing against mostly juniors and seniors at the varsity level in one of the most talented high school conferences in the state. We finished the season 1-15, most of which were pretty tough losses but we worked hard and left it all on the field every game and that in the end is all that matters. The most prevalent memory was after the last game all the players were pretty upset about how it went but our coach ended our last huddle with, “We came into this season knowing it would be challenging and we worked hard from start to finish and I think we ended this season better than we started, which means that next year is gonna be a pretty good…

    In conclusion, we learned that we should take every game as if it’s a championship game. No matter what our record or who we are winning, we must try our hardest and give our all. Our parents saying the usual, “Good game boys, it was so close. You’ll get them next season.” But we all knew that we wanted revenge and show who really deserved that trophy. But at the end of the day we walked out of that gym knowing that sometimes you can't always have it all the easy…

    Preparing for the championship game was a struggle, physically and mentally. We all put in hard work, and were determined to win. Our basketball team hadn’t won a championship game since 1992. It was my senior year and my last shot at redemption against the defending champs. The whole season we only lost one game, we were projected to lose, and we were the underdogs. We had one week left to prepare for what was the largest game of my high school career. Monday’s practice was the worst of the week, we only ran and shot free throws. Tuesday came and everyone was sore, so we all just focused on our fundamentals. Passing, shooting, defense and rebounding were the main things we worked on. Wednesday and Thursday were about the same…

    It was a brisk fall evening with the sun just about to set behind a hill. I was 10 years old, playing in my third season of football, and my first ever game under the bright lights surrounding the high school stadium. The time had finally come, the lights had been on and warming up for several minutes, I was going to play a game under the lights on the high school field. My experiences that night were not forgotten, but today I couldn’t even tell you if we won the game that night. The lessons I learned that night weren’t about winning and losing, I had done plenty of that already in my life. This night was about much more, and I wouldn’t know it until many years later.…

    I put last year behind me and was ready to start fresh. After winning the Upper Iowa University Team Championship, I knew we were going to have a successful season and have a good time while doing it. Practices started and we continued to build off last years successes. New players, such as myself, saw more playing time and began to improve with each practice. Each game was a learning experience. As a team, we would watch film in order to figure out what needed to be worked on that week in order to continue winning games. Weeks went by so fast. Before I knew it we were in the quarterfinals playing against Solon. Solon was undefeated and ranked third in the state. We had our work cut out for us. As we marched off the bus in Solon, Iowa, I knew we were going to have to play our best game in order to win. Our main motivation was that if we won, we made it to the UNI-Dome. Playing in the UNI-Dome was a childhood dream of mine and it was just within reach. The game was a blur and before I knew it, the contest ended. As the final whistle blew, my emotions took over. I could no longer tell myself, “Oh there’s always next year.” That was it. The ride was over. I realized that I would never play another down of football with those guys ever again. Ending the season 8-3, District Champions, and reaching the quarterfinals of the IAHSAA State Football Playoffs is something that no one thought we would achieve. We have came a long ways since…
