It’s 1st down on the 40 yard line. Just then I spot my brother Jake, the quarterback, on the field. I am filled with pride. “Hiked” Jack screams. My brother threw the longest pass I have ever seen him throw a ball. It was 60 yards for a touchdown! Everyone was so loud cheering it sounded like a high pitched boat horn mixed with like little girl screams. The ball floated through the uprights, we were up 7 to nothing. The first two minutes of the game, it felt like they went faster than a…

Since the Hearties reunion has done so well for the past two years, what are the projections for a third one? If Hearties help earn us a Season five, we will absolutely throw a third version of the Hearties Family Reunion in Vancouver. I’m convinced that this worldwide Hearties movement is not a fluke and that it’s the single biggest reason why the show has continued through four seasons. But I also believe the Hearties are bigger than WCTH. This is a movement… community… that can outlive…

This story must begin with an understanding of how the Super Bowl has evolved. Though it has always been a big game -- the first edition placed enormous stress on a man named Vince Lombardi (and probably contributed to his early death in 1970 at age 57) -- the cultural significance of the Super Bowl needed time to emerge in American life. Accordingly, the weight of the Super Bowl wasn't larger than life at the beginning. The game had to become a cultural event. The empty seats for the first…

Day With The Marching Band The marching band is a band exclusive to the High School where you play for sports events and competitions. What if you, as an 8th grade student, had the first and possibly last chance to play your instrument for the marching band? The day of the event was August 18. I was very nervous, but I was excited at the same time. I was nervous to probably mess up the cadences and formations, but I was excited because this was a good experience. As you might not know,…

Not only is the amount of downs different, but so are the amount of players on the field. In the NFL, there are eleven players on the field, opposed to the CFL, where there are twelve! In the CFL, they can fit twelve…
