2K Games

from playing in my game at San Joaquin Memorial, to watching college ball throughout the day, and going to the Fresno State game at Bulldog Stadium. It does sound like a lot of football, but for me it is the sport I love, and I am very grateful to have it in my life. When I stepped outside, the weather was perfect. The sun was shining bright, there was a light breeze in the air, the sky was wonderful and blue, and there was no ash in sight. I then get ready for my game and leave my…

athletic games in the United States. People of all ages play this game. Kids as young as the age of four can play at the local YMCA, and older men can play the game at a church on Sunday nights. But those that play the game of basketball very competitively are those that are the real players. Basketball, along with many other games, is a game that has a reward; specifically if played at a college or professional level. Those who play at that level have devoted part of their life to that game.…

was game day and all I could hear from the right of my ear was “STRIKE HIM OUT!!!” My left I could feel every stomp and scream run through my body like if it was about to explode. As I release the last pitch of the game I could see the batter looking at the ball as if it was a fireball coming right at him. Once that ball hit the glove I could smell the burnt wood from the bat missing the ball by inches. My teammates were running toward me and screaming at the top of their lungs. In the game of…

Final inning. One out to go. One runner on and a ground ball to me at second. A little flip to the shortstop and that is how the game ended. Gabriel Richard had overcome one of their oldest rivals in districts for the first time in ten years. Softball has played a big part in my life and has shaped me as not just an athlete, but as a person. I have had the privilege of playing three sports each year and travel softball along with those sports. Softball has taught me that being apart of…

days,” (History). In 1963, Coach Bear produced a 9-2 season with the Crimson Tide. Ultimately, to end the season on the first day of 1964 with a win over Ole Miss in the Sugar Bowl. With hundreds of thousands of people glued to their t.v.’s during the game, the entire state of Alabama was able to rejoice and celebrate for the first time in a long while. The past year for the state of Alabama was filled with racism troubles of fighting off the uprising of the KKK and mourning over the death of…

natural talent. With little work, I could coast and still outclass the majority of my teammates. That is, I could until I was pushed onto varsity as a sophomore. Instead of getting the steady playing time I expected, I was only permitted to enter the game when things got out out hand. Frustrated, I asked my father what I could do to earn a reliable spot on the field, and he told me that if I augmented talent with practice and outworked the rest of my teammates, there would be no reason for…

Have you pondered on what your favorite sport is? Well, soccer is the greatest in my opinion. Did you know that the sport of soccer’s original name was Association Football or that a series of riots started because of a match of soccer. I conclude that soccer is the best because the different designs of the soccer balls available, since it’s a worldwide sport, wherever you go there will always be someone to play with, and most importantly the varieties of all the teams and leagues. First, I know…

The 4x2 relay is easier to run then it is to set up. At practice you need to meet up with your relay team and make sure you know who is first, second, third, and fourth. There are big triangles on your lane and there is a little triangle a little ways behind it. Start with 20 feet from the big triangle and put down a piece of tape, and then go ten feet from there and put down a second piece of tape. If other people have tape down make sure to mark it or write your name to keep track of it. When…

optimist. Instead of focusing on the team's 2-7 record despite having the number two quarterback in the league in Philip Rivers, McCoy is busy contemplating the return of injured wide receiver Malcolm Floyd in hopes he can help the team still win some games. Floyd sustained a torn shoulder injury in his left shoulder two weeks ago against in a home loss to the Chicago Bears. The injury occurred when he dove for a pass down the sidelines and landed awkwardly on the shoulder. The initial…

Kardashians were a small part of the Bruce Jenner popularity. Bruce Jenner, now Caitlyn Jenner, is one of the greatest American athletes. He won a gold medal in the 1976 Olympic games for his success in the decathlon, which is 10 different track and field events and is said to be one of the most difficult olympics games. From his wins, he was featured in multiple commercials, and was featured on the front of the Wheaties box. Before Bruce had his Olympic victory, he lived quite a normal…
