Corner kick

As I walk onto the football field for the first game of the season I feel the cool air rise up my spine. I feel the energy from my team as we form together as one, we stand in the corner of the field ready to run out. Our helmets give off a brand new polish since we haven’t used them that much, they shine in the light giving us a bright glisten of navy blue and white. We huddle around and form a circle, our captains start a chant and we follow. When the announcer announces us we storm onto the…

incredibly strong lineup. The opening five minutes belonged to Wests Tigers, as Kurtis Rowe scored in the right corner with their first attacking opportunity. Unfortunately for the Tigers, the Bears re-gathered…

standing on a street corner is not unusual. My favorite character from this book is Miranda, a young girl living with her mother in an apartment in New York. She is my favorite character because even though she does not have as many comforts as she would if her mom had more money she is still content with her lifestyle and surroundings. My favorite passage from the book is, “To save Sal. That’s why you stood on our corner day after day. That’s why you were always doing those kicks…

I believe that John Smith did not hang himself for multiple reasons. Why would a rich, famous pianist suddenly commit suicide in the first place? In the scene it showed a cord taken from a set of drapes was around his neck, and he was hung two feet above his piano stool. Steel wire was also ripped from his own piano and also his diary and wide open on his table. First of all, the first detail that does not fit with the suicide of John Smith is that he was two feet above the piano stool. It…

do as it reduces our defense. The whistle blew again and the corner kick was headed towards the middle of the box, nowhere close to where I was. A defender headed it out hoping to reduce the threat but instead it landed right onto my chest to which I controlled the ball, pushed it in front of me and took a hard kick without really thinking where it would land. The ball decided to follow my motion and flew right into the top right corner of the goal giving no chance for the goalie to even react.…

understand whether it is fair for a winner to be decided on a shootout, after both teams have battled extremely hard through regular and overtime. Shootouts are usually about luck and less of skill, you hope that you place the ball in the correct corner and the goalkeeper does not stop…

complete their opening four sets and lacked any go-forward. The Knights began the game with three errors as well, but managed to score first after Ken Tofilau plucked a pinpoint Carlos Tuimavave cross-field kick out of the air to plant…

70 minutes has passed and the score was 1-1 in the final of the Mid Atlantic Cup. My team Fc York was playing Baltimore Bays. The first goal came from them in the closing minutes before half time. At half time coach laid into us, "you guys are playing you don't even want to be here." He told us that we worked too hard in the previous game, where we played very hard and well to lose in the final. We came out at half time and dominated for the rest of the game. We just couldn't score, we had…

that was what dad said. I packed myself in the back of the mini van. I can’t bring any of my distraction out, so I recall the past couple of days that have, in my opinion, move way to fast. I mean gym was fun I guess, I mean we played kick ball. I so could’ve kick the ball farther. Meh, we won… Mary is still talking to me, that's good I haven’t made a complete fool of myself. I think… Yeah she did, she complent…

It was a warm, sunny day on September 28th. Today we, Laurel High School’s soccer team, were playing against one of our biggest rivals Northwestern. Last year in our regular season, we tied against them 2-2 and lost to them in the playoffs by penalties. This year we didn’t want to lose and we were determined on winning. We arrive at their home field which was the Old Fairmont Heights High School’s soccer field since Northwestern’s field was getting turf instead of grass. As we got off the bus,…
