Premier: Take 2
It was a hot and sweaty practice. My heart was pounding out of my chest. All you could see was torn turf and padded up lacrosse players. It was my second time trying out for this team, the Premier Lacrosse Group didn’t want me last time and I was sure I would change that. The whole try-out was as nerve-racking as a fierce battle.
