Midway Games

Two minutes left in the game and one goal down, the Lions need a fast break to tie up the score. The coaches are pacing. The crowd is yelling. Emotions are heightened. Everyone could feel something great was about to happen. Almost like a movie, the striker breaks away from the defense; she is sprinting towards the goal. Twenty yards away. Fifteen yards. Ten. She shoots, she scores! Joy comes over me as she races to the bench to give a me a high five. It was her first goal and I was a part of it…

As I was dribbled the soccer ball through the cones my dad would stop me, fix my mistake, and tell me to try again. I would try over and over again until I got it down or I became tired or just wanted ice cream already. This is how my dad and I would spend most of our weekend afternoons; in the park perfecting my soccer skills. And afterwards my dad would finally take me to buy ice cream. My favorite, cherry pineapple Popsicle. I was five years old at the time. But of course, I grew up and moved…

The moment you decide that you want to play the game of football, your life changes forever. At least mine did from the first time I strapped on my pads. I think Vince Lombardi reflected the essence of football in a small collection of words, “people who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.” The biggest part of the game is teamwork, a concept that I was introduced to early on, but we’ll get to that later. The first time I…

My gang and I all hang out at school. The school we go to is Actis Junior High. Our school has a black top with a ton of basketball courts on it, it also has a huge field, and a gymnasium. We all usually play basketball or any of the intramurals at school. We usually only see each other during passing period because we don’t really have any classes together besides maybe only one class together. Our school is pretty lit, mostly because we keep each other out of trouble and just enjoy time…

on my face as I squinted to see the score. 9-9 with a minute left in the game. I was wearing my low cut tank top with a number sixty-six on the back and my black kilt with a Bethel Park hawk on the lower right. My white cleats were stained from the freshly cut grass and I had a bruise on my right knee from falling down. I looked through the grey metal cage of my face mask and bit down on my mouthguard determined to win the game. Being the oldest person on a team with girls who haven’t played…

THE TIME I JOINED A SOCCER TEAM Today I am gonna tell you about the time I joined a soccer team. I am gonna be talking about my teammates. I will also talk about why I joined. Finally I will talk about the championship we won. First of all I will be talking about my teammates. When I first joined I didn't know anybody so the coach made sure that was fixed. He made me talk with every member of the team and get to know them. The reason he did that was so we could be friends and cooperate better…

people. I will also be explaining the word diplomacy, and why most people don’t get along with each other. Let’s say you're with one of those people during recess and you’re both deciding on a game to play. You may say, “Why don’t we play hopscotch?” Then the other says, “How about foursquare?”.…
