It is more than just a football field, it is a home. The sound of the cowbells clinging together, the unavoidable scent of the freshly grilled hamburgers, and the view of the bright lights beaming down on the field are all just a piece of an unforgettable puzzle. Everyone looks forward to Fridays, but not always for the same reason. For most people, Fridays are just one step closer to the weekend, but for me Fridays are game days.

    Standing there on the street, I stood staring up to a hundred giant football players walking by me. As I held the rope that the football players walked through, I stretched out my hand to try and high five as many of them as I could. One… two…three…twenty-seven…twenty-eight…twenty-nine! Each one of them pranced by while the drum line marched them on to the beat of the fight song. Standing there looking up at the enormous football players, I avidly wondered what it would be like to walk through this crowd to go play at Highlander Stadium.…

    A blackberry moment of mine was when the Elkhorn Area High School Varsity Football Team won the game against Delavan-Darien High School - the biggest rivalry in Southeast Wisconsin. Just talking about it puts a smile on anyone’s face that was at that game. This rivalry dates back to 1995 and has such high tension that the whole state knows about it. It was my freshman year of high school and I had not experienced the rivalry before but the upperclassman did a great job introducing it to us freshman.…

    As the sun plummets to its end on a Friday evening, in a small town just north of the capital of Texas. Businesses become calm and streets become lifeless, as an entire community packs into a stadium anxious to see their team go into battle versus that week’s opponent. The level of excitement that has been accumulating all week, rings throughout the stadium as everyone longs for the opening kickoff to heal their Friday football fever.

    I had just entered my junior year in high school and was back to playing football, my grades were good so far and my A.D.D. medication was helping me a lot. Zach and I had just arrived at the union school for a junior varsity game against Oceanside high school, we geared up and got ready for the game. I started the game at quarterback and the game wasn't going well for us, which didn't come as a surprise because jv games are never enjoyable. I took the snap and rolled out to the left side of the field, no one was open so I tucked the ball under my arm and started to run up field, I had room to move, suddenly a linebacker running at me from my side started to shorten up his steps and set himself for a tackle, he tackled low but I…

Watching American football on Sundays with my father was what I looked forward to the most at the end of the weekend.…
