Lacrosse

hear from midfield. Four seconds left until we win a championship. “3...2...1!” The whistle sounds and all of the Mad Dog players storm the field and celebrate together - as one big family. Every single player screaming, jumping, and throwing their lacrosse sticks and gloves in the air; we were officially champions. That victory that I celebrated in the summer of 2016 was life changing for me. The experience did not just show me that our Mad Dog program was good, it did not not just show me…

After surgery, the opportunity to play again became a reality, but I honestly wasn't sure what I was going to do.

The doctors did not know if my shoulder could handle the amount of stress that I would put on it, or if I would be the same player…

This season was the last one of my career. I have played lacrosse for four years and this is my twelfth athletic season. It is a bittersweet experience and I will miss high school sports immensely and I am glad I have stuck with it all four years. I feel like being an athlete has helped me in so many aspects of my life. It definitely helped me be a better student and be above other students as a prospect to colleges. An average week for lacrosse is a couple days of practice from 2-4pm and one…

In the book the Feed something terrible is happening to a girl named Violet. I have a theory that Violet is going insane. First the dad and also Titus said that because of the malfunction she may be going insane.

Society thinks you can’t do certain things because of your gender for example women don’t know anything about sports or can’t play sports.

People were just judging me based on my…
