Coach Hunter is an important person to me, because he taught me how to play lacrosse, which I still play to this day.

Most of my team were also new players, so we all had a lot of things to learn in the first weeks before our…

I cannot believe that i let this happen, i am really stupid. They were right behind me, right there! I was running as fast as i could and they were still gaining on me. I hate guards, I mean why do they have to be so well trained and perfect. I guess i know why they're so well trained they have to protect whatever it is they were told to.
