Fainting game

Jake Kerschner to send Central Dauphin boys volleyball to the state semifinals, I could feel the excitement spread through the gym like wildfire. Never had I expected I would feel that much exhilaration over a volleyball game. Little did I know attending that state playoff game would dramatically change the course of my four years of high school. Less than one year later, I decided that I wanted to experience that rush of adrenaline that volleyball seemed to promise. When I told my family I…

Last year was my first year playing I only had a couple friends I wasn’t the best at it but I got better the more I practiced. I wanted to be on offense every game but it turns out that I was the best at defense. My friend scored a lot the whole season but I never got a chance to so I asked the coach if I could play offense the next game. So I got to try it I got many more chances to score but I never did I wanted it so bad but the ball kept going over the net. Halfway through the season it got…

When you feel as passionate as I do for a sport you prefer to be playing the game as often as possible. This in most cases means playing a select or club season in the off season of high school. Little would you know that playing the same sport in two different environments could possibly change your view on the sport entirely. For me volleyball is the game I feel a passionate love for, that is why I chose to play club and high school volleyball. Club volleyball's environment and…

on the bus to Quebec City, Quebec to go to the Quebec Peewee Hockey Tournament. It was a struggle for me because I had a broken leg at the time. Even though I had a broken leg, I was still so excited to travel to this historic town to watch the game I love. It was a long bus drive to the city, so during the drive I occupied my time with reading, sleeping, and watching movies for the most part. I was having a lot of fun on the bus with my hockey team. “Hey Coach, how far is the next…

be on the team were Deion and Nason. So the game starts. The students score first, but then the teachers bounce back with 10 straight points. My friend Finn and I were watching the game along the side of the court. We already knew that this was going to be a bloodbath. Deion and Nason may be the best players at the school, but they’re not good enough to do all the work and carry their team to victory. Some of the teachers are taller than 6 foot. The game only happens once a year, and you have to…

moment means everything to me. Football is my life, it keeps me going and motivated. Being on that field makes all of my worries or problems go away. I am in full control on that field. Shutting down anyone that comes my way. Even though it’s game I play no games on the field. All joking and shenanigans cease once I hit that field. The only thing that matters is winning and being there for my team. Whenever i’m down or having a bad day I go out and do drills. Throw the football around a…

Now, although I made the team, playing time during our games was the next step to overcome, a step that became the biggest obstacle during the entire season since I was not a starter. I would try and do my best at practice, and not miss a single day of practice, or a single game. But after a while I thought that I wasn’t getting the playing time I deserved, so I decided to confront the coach and ask him what I could…
