Play from scrimmage

the Patriots 28-22. Ten yards back from the line of scrimmage, I stood tall at the safety position with the perfect field view of twenty-one players ready for the center to snap the ball. This was my first game back since I injured my knee last year and nothing was going to stop me. Offense or defense, I was in game mode. Reading the offensive side of the ball, it became clear there were three different receivers I would need to defend in result of a pass play. Because of our dominant…

finals we faced the only team that beat us all year. We came out with a bang putting 16 points on the board before the half. In the second half the opposing team made it a game, the game was forced to go to overtime, they scored on the first play from scrimmage and we failed to connect in the red zone, so we took the defeat. That moment had to have been the worst pain I 've felt in my entire life. I wanted to just give up, but on thing I knew is Success is not final, failure is not fatal it is…

available for the younger kids, but what if it was an option for the older players too? Having the option to play co-Ed sports could be a massive push in the right direction for both the children involved, and the reputation of the school promoting it. The school would likely be the only one in town offering the student athletes a fun and healthy way to learn to work with others, relieve themselves from stress, and learn to have mutual respect for others no matter your differences. Co-Ed sports…

For three years, my addiction to volleyball became apparent. Playing in tournaments, leagues, and local scrimmages as much as possible, it was clearly an addiction. The adrenaline involved in tight matches, the split second decisions that decided whether you would win the next point or lose it. Those were things that kept me coming back for more. One of the leagues I had been participating in for at least 3 years was the Adult Volleyball Co-ed League in McAllen. The last 2 years, team TCB…

requires a large amount of skill,strength, and cardio. It’s a beautiful sport because I love how it was discovered and the history behind it. I also love the complex rules towards the game. Finally I love interacting with the different people I meet from playing the game of lacrosse. Last year during my last summer as an 8th grader my friends and I went every where we biked, long-boarded, and ran. It was a whole lot of cardio every other day. One hot hot hot! summer day my friend Sam threw a…

day of practice consisted of drills and learning to play which went terrible. I could not complete a single drill with ease and the coach could see my struggles. It was then that he tried me in the goal which would make the day even worse. On the first ball I tried to save I dove and slammed my face into the goal post. I started to cry and ran away from the practice field to the front of the school to the buses. I would end up taking a week off from practice and wanted to quit, but my parents…

Before I was even born it seemed it was in my destiny to be a basketball player. My mom won a high school state championship and was some kind of legend in town. When she first signed me up to play in our town rec league, all of the men who ran the league couldn’t believe she didn’t sign up to coach. One of the guys at the table then turned to me and told me he was there when my mom scored the winning basket at the Boston Garden to take the team to the state championship game. When we got…

While her right hand was engaged in writing a note on a piece of paper. "I am not removing you from the football team, but I feel I cannot let you play if you persist in neglecting your education." She paused as she read some of her notes in his file, "I have taken special consideration in your case, I have noted that your home life has taken a turn for the worse, is that…
