It was one of the most rainy days of the summer of 2014 in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I had one of the biggest soccer tournaments in my life. My team was invited to this tournament called The Friendship Cup. This tournament was a six team tournament and your team has to be one of the top teams in your state to be invited. My team is called Blitz United and at this time we were top three in the state of Oklahoma. It was an honor for my team to be in this tournament but no one actually believed that we could make it to the finals.

This tournament started off with a bang. The first team we played was a team from Arkansas and we beat them five to zero. This team was called the Arkansas Comets and there team record is insanely good. I scored the first

    I’m starting over again anew something different now. The last run was great while it lasted. Day one back at practice was pretty rough, hitting balls endlessly at the range brought upon old bad habits. It made me realize how far away I was from my former swing, the consistency, strength, and concentration it had brought me. I had now found myself with a rugged backswing and an upbeat tempo.…

It was June, and since classes had just ended, crowds of kids filled the hallways, and I got bumped around like I did not exist.

Districts is by far the biggest meet of the year where all swimmers attempt to break personal records and qualify for state. This shaving of the heads promises a possible time drop of maybe one tenth of a second and also builds a sense of team unity. In 2013, my freshman year of high school, I refused to partake in this sacred ritual.…

Alpena had 18 points, and TC West had somewhere extremely close to that.…
