As my team progressed throughout the year, we came upon our third game against Pleasant Valley High School. My team knew going into the game that PV wasn’t going to back down to anyone. Not even us! As my team ended our stretching and warm-ups, the clock struck 0:00. It was go time! The kickoff teams sprinted out to the field to get the game started. As the refs blew their whistle, I knew it was my turn to sprint on the field. All eleven guys huddled together as our coach called the first play. It was coming to me. As the linemen and receivers got set, our quarterback screamed as loud as he could. Hike! I initiated contact with the defensive back, and then began to stutter my feet. As soon as I turned my head, the ball was thrown in my direction.
