The Black Wall Street Records

The Game As I approached the football field for practice I heard someone call out, “Yo Austin.” I looked back to see one of my teammates. “What’s up Logan?” I said. “Ready for the big game this Sunday?” “No not really I have been sleepless all week because of it.” “You’ll be fine Austin just review the plays the coach taught us and you’ll do great.” “That’s the problem I make mistakes whenever I’m nervous about games like these.” “Don’t be foolish, I’ve seen what you can do, all you have to…

Screaming fans and the aroma of popcorn filling the air at the football game. Looking up into the stands, I can see the support from all the student section fans and how proud they are of the team they are supporting. I see a loud, obnoxious yelling fool, he obviously thinks he is the coach. There is also the guy that is sitting down not cheering but patiently watching to see if the team is going to come through or not. Differences surround the football field, and that is what makes up the crowd…

I have loved playing soccer for many years, I met many people, made many friends, but what would stick with me the most would be the competitions I got to participate in with my teammates.During the Euclid Memorial Tournament Finals our team, Euclid Elite, lost in the semi finals.Many members of our team tried very hard and worked together to try to win, but there were a few who had given up before the game was even over causing us to play even worse, contributing to us losing.The game ended and…

Standing just off the court ready to take it over as my heart was pumping just a little faster than normal. “We got this,” stated Austin with a strong loud voice. “Key words to winning this game, said Coach, get running, play as a team, and be loud. Still waiting to access the court we were all like wild animals. As we ran onto the court and started with lay ups, then we get into 3 on 2. “Bleep” the horn rang, “It’s game time and I’m warm because I’m already sweating!” The ball is tipped and we…

I looked up at the clock. Nine seconds. I looked up at the scoreboard. Carver 106, Ralph Bunche 104. Don’t shoot, I said to myself. Just don’t shoot. Think of Celia. Dark eyes. Short skirt. Nice boobs. “We’ve got one chance in a million,” the coach said. “We’ll go with the thirty-four play to Tommy. Jerry inbounds the ball to Tommy and everybody else blocks out their man the best they can.” “Good choice, Coach,” I said. Jerry inbound the ball or, at least he tried to inbound the ball. A…

As soon as the buzzer rang my team ran on the cold smooth ice like winners.I stepped on the cool ice, and it felt like home away from home. The Rams were wearing orange and white, while my team was wearing black and white. We got in a semi circle and started shooting at Titus, who seemed to me that he gets better and better. After that, we got in two lines and passed to each player, and one by one we would shoot at Titus. Secretly glancing at the Rams. 2 minutes later we huddle up and coach…

The colors of red and white dominated the gym. I looked around and saw Pennridge colors faded behind the Reading fans. It was Pennridge Men’s Basketball team’s first appearance in a PIAA State game. We played in front of a crowd of 4,200 people. About 95% of those people were rooting against us. It was a game where little mistakes could be made and a loss could send us home for good. I was slightly nervous, but I enjoy the spotlight, especially as an underdog. The game went back and forth…

As I walk onto the football field for the first game of the season I feel the cool air rise up my spine. I feel the energy from my team as we form together as one, we stand in the corner of the field ready to run out. Our helmets give off a brand new polish since we haven’t used them that much, they shine in the light giving us a bright glisten of navy blue and white. We huddle around and form a circle, our captains start a chant and we follow. When the announcer announces us we storm onto the…

This made me realize again, they do it for us, the fans. After that, the Washington starters were announced with lights and music. One by one, first Marcin Gortat, then Markieff Morris, then Otto Porter, and second to last, Bradley Beal. Last was John Wall. The announcer announced it just like this, “And your 6’4’’ guard, out of the University of Kentucky, number two, John…

always a huge gap in between. The graphs shows extreme cases and it speaks to their logical sense that this is not fair. The logos is a huge factor for the success of the movie. The movie leaves the viewer without a doubt in their mind that the Wall Street CEO’s and policymakers of the US government are the ones responsible for the financial situation. Even just seeing the research without understanding it, provides the viewer a sense that the filmmakers know what they are talking about and…
