High school football

Every year kids join their High School’s football team during their Freshman year and never regret their decision. So would you let your kid play if he asked to join? In my personal opinion, if my child asked to play on his school’s team I would gladly say yes. Football has many benefits to offer to a developing child. For example, it can teach kids discipline and teamwork, help build character, and even provide them with financial opportunities later in life. To elaborate on my reasoning, I…

Every year we would have division 1 prospects being signed left and right and some even making…

Beginning high school, I was troubled with how I would fit in the community. I was asked to join the broadcast team during the fall of that year. I decided give it a try since I enjoy technology and videography. I was never too knowledgeable about football, nor would I ever imagine myself running the entire show and announcing the games. I believed I solely belonged behind the scenes. Four years later, I run the entire broadcasting crew, announce every game, and know so much more about football.…

Did you know that football is the #1 high school sport in the United States? Maybe not for long though. There are imposers who want to ban football from being a high school sport because it causes too many concussions. I disagree with this idea because if a student wants to play, they should be aware of anything that could happen. Also, there is the same chance of getting injured in any other sport.

family? My high school varsity football team was my second family for three years and even longer because I had grown up with most of these guys. Throughout my high school career, they were there for me through hardships and struggles that came with being a student-athlete. My team was a normal group of guys who cared about each other and supported one another, but as high school football players, there are misconceptions that many people have including that we hate everyone on the football team…

Most people think that football is the most prone sport to concussions, but researchers from Northwestern University and Wake Forest University have discovered that it is actually fourth on the list, behind girls soccer, girls volleyball, and girls basketball. So why are we only focusing on football instead of these other concussion prone sports. I think that football should not be dropped as a high School sport. First of all, football is really important to any high school. David Geier, an…
