Playoffs

duffel bag on the way. I throw it in the back of the truck, and hop in the driver’s seat. I turn the key over, plug my phone into the aux cord, and pull out of the neighborhood. As I drive, I begin to feel anxious, stressed out. Today is the first playoff game of my senior year of football. I search through my phone to find the right song while at a stop light.…

It’s incredible how sports can bring people together. It does not matter what race you are, how much money you make, or where you live; sports have an amazing way of showing how much respect players have for their teammates on and off the field. Walt Disney Pictures created an amazing film called “Remember the Titans” in 2000 that shows people how football created a bond between blacks and whites in a community where they were forced to merge together. The setting of the movie is in Alexandria,…

Collectively speaking, all four members of the AFC South haven’t had much to get excited about in recent years. While there have been glimmers of hope, particularly for the Houston Texans, having made three Divisional Round appearances (2011, 2012, 2016), the AFC South has been wildly inconsistent, especially following Peyton Manning’s departure from the Indianapolis Colts in 2011. Honestly, the only real consistency has been the Jacksonville Jaguars’ miserable performances, which haven't…

The majority of my lacrosse career depended upon my natural talent. With little work, I could coast and still outclass the majority of my teammates. That is, I could until I was pushed onto varsity as a sophomore. Instead of getting the steady playing time I expected, I was only permitted to enter the game when things got out out hand. Frustrated, I asked my father what I could do to earn a reliable spot on the field, and he told me that if I augmented talent with practice and outworked the…

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.--The West Virginia University football team is off to a 6-0 start for the first since the 2006 season. With success sometimes comes failure but the Mountaineers are trying to stay ground amidst their success. "I think we have a group of kids who understands where we are, WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said. "Our job is the same going into game seven as it was going into game one. You have a week, you prepare all week and you practice hard to get yourself in a position to play on…

fans take sports and it’s competition too far. By Tommy Frederick According to Seattle times “Four fans were arrested, five more ejected from the arena, one police officer was injured and Fancy — then age 17 — received an unprecedented five-game playoff suspension for his stick swinging role in one of our city’s ugliest sports incidents.” That right there shows how nuts and how out of control sport fans are. They take it to another level and it gets serious. Sport fans take the competition…

gave them hope of a return they neglected the fact that with or without me they were always good and just needed to stick together and compete. Sadly the highlander’s season was cut down short losing to Saint Peter Marian in the second round of the playoffs. Once the surgery was over I woke up all lost and drained like a vampire sucked my blood. I was in so much pain, my right thigh which they had pulled my hamstring from to replace my ACL was burning. The nerve block that had been given to me…

from their mistakes; however, if students learn to recognize their mistakes not as a failure, but as a lesson to learn from, we could all improve ourselves. During my third season on my lacrosse team I was a varsity midfielder. Our team was in the playoffs preparing to play the number one team, Rockhurst. The bus was filled with excited chatter as we headed to the stadium. This was a momentous event for our team because just three years ago was the Tigers inaugural season. Being a new team…
