Personal Narrative: My First Football Game

Improved Essays
Over the summer of 2015. myself, Josh Clifton, and Trenton Campbell. Played a three on three basketball tournament at East Rock. It was a very wet day. So thankfully the games were inside. All of the games were to 21 points. The games were played by two’s and three’s. There was a rule that if you got fouled your team got one point plus the ball back. The games were make it take it, and double elimination. Just keep in mind. There were kids from a lot of different schools there. Kids from Spotswood, East Rock, Stuarts Draft, Waynesboro, and Turner Ashby. Plus More. We played in the more advanced league. We wanted to have a lot of competition. We got what we wanted. We started off with solid offense, and defense. The team that we played first …show more content…
The second game was pretty tight at the start, but we ended up pulling it off. Josh did his thing on defense, Trent was knocking down his baseline jumpers, and I was doing my thing behind the arch. We ended up on top 21 to 10. The third game was definitely the hardest game we played yet. We played against a 1,000 plus point scorer. Named Logan lam who plays for East Rock. We led just about the whole game, but when it came to the end. We could not stop Logan Lam at all. We lost that game 21 to 19, but we were fine. The fourth game we ran through real quick. The score was 21 to 3. The next round we had a bye. When we came back and played it was for the championship. We have not played the team that we are playing for the championship. They have not lost a game yet. We won the first game. So we had to play them again. Winner takes all. The score is 11 to 11. I am guarding the point guard from Spotswood. He crosses over. I stumble really bad. I just got my ankles broke! The crowd is getting very hype right now. I get up after he made the three pointer. We are now loosing 14 to 11. Josh gets a steal kicks it to Trent at the free throw line and he makes the jumper. I check it up, pass it to Josh, and he drives in and makes a
