All too soon, Lily slapped down an impressive string of cards. The other three men at the (describe table) stiffened and took no effort to hide their gasps. Lily scooped up her winnings…
I am currently a baseball player for Lower Columbia College where I am also pursuing a general education AA with the expectation of transferring to a four-year college or university in fall of 2016. I signed with the Red Devils in 2014 while still in high school, receiving a scholarship to play for them during my college freshman and sophomore years. Although I originally planned on majoring in education to teach math and science at the middle and high school levels, my interests have shifted to…
It was a scorching late July day in Hammond, Louisiana, and I was drenched in sweat as if I had just taken a dunk in the community pool across the park. The game was just about to begin; my team and I were eagle eyeing the opposing team, otherwise known as “The Bomb Squad.” It was so quiet that I could hear my own sweat hitting the bench. The umpire broke up everyone’s concentration by yelling, “Play Ball!” We were considered the home team, and our defense stormed the cherished diamond. After…
with the rest of the bikes, in the front yard, and ran inside to find everyone. I heard people upstairs and hurried up to find them. They were all sitting around talking and playing a board game. Now, think about how much interaction kids had in 2003 rather than 2015. They actually talked and played board games or played outside no matter what the weather was or whose house they were in. Kids back then found ways to have fun without the advanced technology that kids have today. When growing up…
class and walked into the locker room to put on my Hillsborough High School soccer jersey. This was just one game out of many in my freshman season. I expected to win as our record proved that we were a muscular and athletic team. I am ready for the game with my soccer bag packed with my Gatorade and training gear. My other teammates begin to fill in the locker room preparing for the game too. I checked the team job list to see if I had to get any supplies ready before we went out to the field.…

and my little league team was in the city championship for the second year in a row. We came into the game feeling strong about our team, thinking that nobody could beat us. The first few innings were pretty stress free, a few mistakes here and there but nothing major had happened yet. I believe it was the 3 inning and the score was tied 1-1 when we pulled our starting pitcher out of the game and put in our star pitcher, Duncan. What happened next was unimaginable, they scored 3 runs in a row.…
The game of football has evolved in many ways, from hitting to the play clocks to turf and grass fields. The play clocks have changed because they were 45 seconds but now they are 40 seconds, usually by the time the referee sets the ball down they have about 25 seconds to snap the ball or it is a delay of game, and that is a 5 yard penalty. Hitting percussions are a big part of football, if you hit someone in the wrong way you can badly injure your opponent. Referees are very strict if you hit…
Soccer to me is not just a sport; it is more like my culture. I started as a fan of the sport very young, but with time passing by I have covered all the other roles in the sport. The referees are a big part of any sport. They are there to referee the game so it can go smoothly and it could be a fair match. Not just in soccer but in every other sport you just feel like one of the officials or referees is being unfair or he really is slacking off. Have you ever felt like you could be doing a…
