It's Sunday on a cold evening in mid-March. While others are freezing their buns outside, you're sweating out a possible heads-up victory in your fantasy league that will ensure a playoff spot. All of your opponent's players are done and you've got Kevin Durant facing a leaky Kings defense that's already scouting their latest lottery pick. Your fantasy team is already up 5-4, but can claim two more categories if KD can pour in 35 points and 2+ three-pointers. Here's the dilemma. You live in…

There are several different types of sports fans and how they act during a game varies on how much they know or care about the sport they are cheering for. Specifically there are three types of fans that seem to be the most common; obsessive, “band wagon” and the part-time fan. The first type of fan that I mentioned is an obsessive fan otherwise known as the die-hard fan. These are the fans that have a favorite team and truly care about how the team will do throughout the entire season. When…

American Football and basketball are two of the most common sports that are played in many parts of the world.

American Football and basketball have similarities and differences many people do not recognize. Both sports are highly popular and…

I had the lacrosse stick since I was eight. It’s a silver stick, with a white head, and white/yellow stringing. It’s laced up with white grip tape that helps me pass and shoot. It was at about a quarter to two when we started strapping up for our last game of the day, but we were facing Summit. Summit had at least 20 players while we had eleven. At the start of the fourth quarter 2-0 Summit. We won the face-off and set up our offense. I started moving around and v-cutting, I got open and called…

The sky is a Carolina blue. The clouds look like wisps that have been painted with a paintbrush. The temperature is 68 degrees. The sun is partially blocked by the clouds but is slowly starting to show its full self. The pond ripples as a little kid skips a rock into it. The kid is wearing a Duke blue shirt and navy blue jeans. The water is a dirt brown and camo green color. The dirt swirls under the water like a tornado. There are long lime green plants coming out of the water on the right…

My younger brother and I were adopted from Russia when we were toddlers. The reader of my essay is probably going to groan and ask themselves, “How is being adopted different?” For me being adopted is unique because I am able to embrace both my American and Russian Culture. My first memory of realizing I was “unique” was when I was in third grade. My teammates and I were watching a hockey game in Lake Placid, not in 1980 though. And all of a sudden in the small hotel room they started to yell…

if I had just drank a bunch of coffee and was wired from then on out. The same effect was left with my brother when I woke him up too. The drool that was on his cheek had showed that he had a pretty good sleep. He was wearing a blue, Kris Bryant baseball t-shirt, that was a little longer than it should have been. He had long bulls pants on that was red and had little Chicago Bulls logos throughout the whole pants. His brown Justin Bieber haircut showed that he needed a haircut. The silver braces…

There's one minute left and there is on man standing. Then I throughly the ball as hard as I could. It hits the cone knocking it down. The game is over. Dodgeball wasn't the only fun thing about fifth grade. Awesome recess, Mrs.Brown, and goofy friends are what Meade fifth grade the best year ever. To an elementary schooler recess is the best thing in the world. Walking the track after lunch was the best too. You get to chill and talk with friends. The second best thing about recess was…
