I’m a friend of a very talented football player. High school football. I think football is a good and safe sport to play. If it’s played the right way. In my essay I will describe some ways on how football is a safe and fun sport. And also a good learning experience. For one, football could be all my friend has to look forward too. What if he never liked school, always got bad grades and never even went to class? His introduction to football saved him and his education. Knowing that he could only play football if he had good grades, went ot every practice, and every class. He put his all into it, and now has good grades and is pretty good at playing football. Football can be a safe and fun sport. If the players play…
With the high school football playoffs coming to a close, the thought of how football has changed over the past 30-years has led me to look for the differences between then and now.

they were not even there. Butterflies seem to fill the entire stomach. The band plays, lights all aimed at one spot, the football field. The smell of freshly popped popcorn flood the night air. The rumble of the crowd becomes a roar. Grass cut earlier in the day feels wet with the night already laying its sheet of the morning dew. The whistle is blown and the ball sent soaring through the air, and the game begins. Every football game begins this way, but in big games like a state championship…
High School football is something that can’t be just described in just a couple of words. When you go to a High School football game in Texas you can see faithful supporters filling the stands which are waving their hands and homemade signs in support of their team. You hear the cheers and screams from the crowd. You can smell the hot dogs, burgers, pizza, pretzels, and popcorn from the concession stands.

These are considered large Texas schools and pre season is never overrated. This district has proven to be one of the most prepared, hardest fighting,…
