While driving down the road Mr. Cassidy saw a red truck with a little boy sitting beside the driver going toward baseball field. He was sure the driver was one of the coaches for the local baseball team. It brought back fond memories of his son, Joe and the way he always wanted to go with him in the truck. Gee, I had almost forgotten about him. I wonder where he is living. The old man thought as tears poured down his cheeks. “I miss him so much.” Excitement filled Coach Bill while driving up…

a shy introvert wanting just to get in and out of high school and get to college, didn’t care for joining clubs or participating in after school activities. I walked into the brightly lit gym with bleach white walls and blue and green plastic bleachers and took a seat far away from any human life. Quietly keeping to myself I pulled out my phone and scrolled through Instagram pretending like I was doing something meaningful. I sat alone for a few minutes before some boy walked up to me and…

“Welcome back to the first game of the season. We have here tonight the Hickory Crawdads facing the South Spartans. Mikayla Hill is up to bat for Hickory as we enter the ninth. Let's check in.” “ Go battabatta, go battabatta, swing,” the man behind my enemy said aloud. I could already see both men getting into their stances. The batter rising, back straightening, almost cutting through me with his eyes as he waited for the ball. The catcher sinking down, ready to catch the ball as it would…

“Last by not least, what you’ve all been waiting for: Homecoming queen! This year’s queen is, drum roll please... Marie Antoinette!” the announcer’s voice blared over the PA system. Many girls rolled their eyes as the extravagantly dressed girl walked across the gym to receive her overly-bejeweled crown. Marie Antoinette was the epitome of popular girl.

She remembers the day of her first ballet class. She was 13 and sitting in the bleachers overlooking the basketball court. She’s used to watching her brothers play. But on this particular day, she had been invited to watch a ballet class instead. Misty was called down to the court to join the rest of the girls, she recalls…

Second quarter of the game Josh passes the ball to Cam with few seconds left till halftime, but Cam is afraid that he won't make the three point shot. So he glances to his coach, the coach gives him the look that he can do it, and Cam acknowledges that he should shoot the ball and do it for the team. Cam thought that if he misses he would infuriate the team. When he shot the ball everyone looks at the ball bouncing on the rim slowly going in the hoop. Shortly his team went of bursting with…

It was a scorching summer afternoon around three o’ clock PM at J.D Redd Park. I was anxiously waiting in third base for the batter to approach the plate and smack the yarn covered ball just enough for me to make it to the home plate. As the sun hits my face I see the pitcher retract his right arm getting ready to throw it. As I see the ball leave the pitcher’s hand, I breathed in the humid air, making preparations to sprint as fast as I could and make it to the home plate. Before I could even…
