American football terminology

How long does it take a person to change his mindset? I came to high school as a freshman and I wanted to try something new, so i thought that I should try football. I wanted to play in the games and I wasn’t getting any playing time in them and I couldn’t figure out why. After our first game I was expecting me to play in the next game, but as the time came for kickoff I was still standing on the sidelines and watching everyone else go in. I thought it would be my turn eventually, but then the…

Last June it became my favorite time of the year. Samford basketball camp jumped at me just a week away, and I could just smell the good times coming. I waited a long time for this week to come around the corner. Finally, there it was, the week of basketball camp. I had awakened early in the morning visualizing the day alive as ever. Then, I was ready for the big day that I had been waiting for. After I got up and ready, I went off with the hope of accomplishing great things. I saw that there…

Almost every evening during the fall and winter, there is basketball being practiced or played in the Cherokee County High School gymnasium. I see the sweaty players running up and down the court and hear the squeaking of shoes on the wood floor. When basketball is going on, the gym changes. If a basketball game is being played in the gym, the atmosphere is not the same as it is in any other circumstance. I oftentimes walk in to players with their hands on their hips, breathing really hard. The…

The track season was the hardest most adrenaline filled thing i’ve ever partook in. Everyday at practice we’d run probably two miles total, and that was just the sprinters.

There was a dash of suspense also, it’s suspenseful because you can only do four events, and track meets were about six to seven hours long, and one sprint event only takes like literally a minute. You…

Someone must have been playing a cruel joke when several of the bigger bowl games were canceled due to weather or some other unforeseen mishap and their game was now being covered and they were…
