2K Games

The day started like any other, but the same could not be said for how it ended. I arrived at the town golf course, Longshore, about 30 minutes before my tee time. There was slight cloud coverage, minimal wind, and a comfortable temperature. Glints of sun through the clouds periodically illuminated blades of grass, almost signaling for the ball to be hit there. The bentgrass took a deep, rich shade of green from the recent douses of rain. The course looked inviting and manicured, taunting…

every other year like a back and forth thing, it’s EVERY SINGLE YEAR. But this year, we have prepared for this game for weeks on end. There will be blood. The sun was setting with a bright and beautiful orange glow that looked like our helmets. It was a cool Monday afternoon, a perfect day to play football. I was feeling more energetic than usual. I think it was because before the game our whole bus was jamming out and getting pumped. We were playing at Chatham, their home field. You can’t get…

Throughout my high school basketball career, I have met with my coach three days per week for one-on-one workouts to perfect my ball handling and shooting form. I wanted to be a much better basketball player, and was willing to put the work in to improve my game every day. I made the Varsity basketball team as a freshman, but didn't see the court at all. I didn't care much for minutes at the time, I just thought it was the coolest thing to be on my school basketball team and play with the best…

My sophomore year of high school, I received an award for Most Improved in cross country. That day I felt on top of the world. As a matter of fact, I felt on top of the world that entire season. I was never athletic, as a matter of fact, before joining Track the year before, I had never ran more than three feet in my entire life. The first day of cross country was an awful start. We had to time our first mile in the 90 degree heat. Needless to say, I walked home that day feeling a bit…

If you want to be in a boy's head, just land straight on it. The summer of 2008 had just stared. You could find me in the park playing soccer with my mates 24/7. I was an 11year old girl who was in love with playing soccer and upon this day I still am. Strangely enough the day of the incident I was not playing soccer, I was playing tag. My friends and I decided to climb on the top of a slide so it would be very hard to get tagged. Unfortunately the tagger didn’t think that way and ran to the…

my mom brought me to my first Ole Miss soccer game. As the players warmed up, Hannah Weatherly, an All-American forward, inspected the Mississippi State players like a spider stalking its prey. As the referee’s lips touched the whistle to start the game, the players hustled as if their lives depended on it. Throughout the game, shots were fired; penalties were taken, and tackles were made. The fans throughout the game boasted, “Hotty Toddy!” The game ended 1-0 Ole Miss with a finesse shot by…

Grant gave it to Raj, who tried to pull off a lay-up in the congested frontcourt. Sadly, he missed. I saw Alex’s anger build up as his face reddened. Coach, seeing the trouble, called a timeout, somehow calming Alex down. By halftime of the first game of the league’s season, Alex was back to his angry state, acting aggressively on court and fouling out. Brian, a slightly shorter but still hulking player, took over as center. During the 10 minute halftime break, Alex was…

Like all children all I ever wanted was to be big and do big people things. I engaged in a few family members that I would look up to and try everything they did. I use to pretend to go grocery shopping and being a parent at times. At the age of eight, I had worn the worst pain ever and that was watching my five, year old brother getting hit by a car while trying to cross the street riding a bicycle that had a loose chain. I remember him trying to get up and get to me, but a few adults that…

guardhouse (Jacoby, 125)” or the “confiscation of all goods that lawbreakers had used in committing their crimes (Jacoby, 125)”. These were Yellowstone’s methods for attempting to utilize law to break the will of the rural folk buffalo hunters. In addition, game laws were against the rural folk partly because of the distinctions that the working class rural folk had with each other and their forms of poaching (Jacoby, 139). In the Grand Canyon, the prevailing rural folk were the Havasupai Native…

over the years the game has been more and more about the signal concept of winning. I personal feel that this is an over reach to what the game has been traditionally about. Soccer is a relatively cheap sport, builinding healthy, coordination, speed and stamina for life, and it doesn’t discriminate against any body size or height. youth soccer has become very much entrenched in our communities across the nation. For soccer lovers, this is a great time to be involved with the game and revel in…
