Playoffs

miserable. As the weather got colder, and the leaves started changing colors and eventually falling to the ground, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I knew this nightmare of a season was almost over. October came to an end, and the first round of playoffs were here. We were matched up against Waverly-Shell Rock. I had mixed emotions about this game. We all knew that could’ve very well…

“The Philosophy of the school room in one generation….. will be the Philosophy of the Government in the next.”, Abraham Lincoln once said. The education system we have now is only getting worse. Students should go to school to succeed in life; we are failing at it. There are many schools founded on the beliefs of the Christian religion. In the year 1802, Thomas Jefferson, acting as the President, required schools to use the Bible and the Watts Hymnal in their classrooms (An Outline History).…

10 assists) which I did twice, the first year a got a 4-point-play (score four points in possession), and my favorite, the first year I dunked. The most important accomplishment I attained that season was that we were playoff champions. I finished the year with the League MVP, Playoff MVP, 21 points per game, 10 rebounds per game, and 6 assists per game. After the season ended, I put my stats on a college recruiting website. A few weeks after, my mother and I got a call from a college scout. He…

Most of my teammates were above average players and it was honestly really hard to try and compare to them. I had to put in a lot of hard work to be able to even think of comparing myself to them. We ended up flying through the first round of our playoffs, with only a single game standing between us and the semifinals. Of course, the game came down he the final inning, Mead has two outs and runners…

He finished the 1976-77 season as the third-best rebounder with 13.1 rebounds per game. That same season, he set the playoff record for offensive rebounds in a game with 15 in an overtime win over the Washington Bullets. The following season saw him lead the league in offensive rebounds despite the fact he missed 23 games with a stress fracture in his foot. These are the…

register on my coach’s radar during practices and the games prior. From this experience, I have moved past the game and decided to keep working through the rest of this season to play to the best of my ability and support my team as we move on to the playoffs in the coming…

Some people think that if Dallas let go of Jason Garrett, we will have a better record next year. Although Dallas does not have a good record I would not put the blame on all of him. When you are a part of a team it is not just one persons fault, everyone has a little bit to blame. Jerry Jones (owner) is thinking about releasing him and replacing him with Sean Peyton. Sean is currently working with the New Orleans Saints. Jason still has more to give with this franchise. First, Jason Garrett…

League. We see it with Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and of course the New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. Manning receives so much scrutiny because he has only won one Super Bowl. I'd be a fool not to admit he does have some playoff "gitters," but he will still go down as one of if not the best quarterback of all-time. He might retire leading in all quarterback categories. We all know the Patriots have been caught cheating on numerous occasions now. Especially in the…

For our group discussion, I will be covering mascots that are images of Native Americans. First, I want everyone to envision the outrage if a sports team, professional or college, decided to have a mascot that mocked African Americans, Latinos, Jews or the disabled. Most would not find it funny or witty, as it violates the bounds of respect and decency by their very nature (Armour, 2016). So, why is it permitted that teams, such as, the Indians are able to use Chief Wahoo as their mascot?…

Year by year head injuries are rising in the National Football League. With head injuries growing the tension around the concussion issue is growing. With growing tension more pressure is put on the NFL in means of player safety. The NFL should do more to protect players against concussions because players are constantly taking hits, helmets are not concussion proof, and players are returning to action too soon after suffering a concussion. To start off concussions are defined as a type of…
