My best memory i have of playing football is running off the the field after blowing spring lake park out of the water 66-6. Shit we did better then varsity did. The 2016 game versis S.L.P. so far is the best moment of my football career. But let me take you take you back. Back to where it all started. The week beforebefor weme beat DeLaSalle like 56-6 so the whole team was still on cloud nine. But we couldn't let that get in our way. because we had only one day to practice and that day was a friday and the game was the next monday. so the whole weekend and that monday before the game i was nervous as hell. Stepping off the bus and onto the field there was a weird anxious worried vibe from everyone but if you ask any of the guys they will probably say there weren't nervous. …show more content…
As we keep going through our pre-game routine me and three other teammates meet with 4 of there other teams players and the referees for the coin flip. It felt like as fast as be were donebone with the coin flip, we had already scored our first touch down. And for the rest of the game we had kept that same pace. After we were in the forties and they still hadn't scored we all already know it was over but it wasn't the time you start celebrating we where still is this and we couldn't stop now. had a part of a game to finish. We came to far. The score is is now about 50 someone to 6 i had been in for a while and i'm now in my 4 point stance. Sweat dripping from my forehead sitting on my eyelashes and going down my nose. My heart beating so hard i could almost hear it over the quarterback. All of a sudden. HUT. And we were all off. Like a perfectly choreographed dance but at the same time looked like a chaotic
...k now through everything. We should know no matter what we are put through, we can always come out on top. Our determination as a team lead us to do what many believe that we could not do, winning the state championship game against the nation number one team making the Pearland Oilers Texas Division 5A State Champions.. Even though the damages of football can be permanent over a long period of time it changed my life and I would do it all over again.
...e bus and off we went. As soon as we arrived we were told that the kick off would be in ten minutes. After a quick warm up we were ready. My hands were shaking, heart pounding but I couldn’t wait to start. When the game started my nerves escaped from my head and I was focused on the match.
It was time for the game to start and I couldn't wait through the whole game Packer where just barley ahead of the Lions. About two hours into the game my feet where starting to numb out from the cold but I couldn't leave the score was so close. The time was down to the last minute and Packers were ahead by a field goal as time ran close to the end people where leaving so we decided to do the same. The packers ended up winning I was glad they did but I still had a long walk back to our car in the parking garage we parked
I remember taking a deep breath, closing my eyes, and listening to the silence around me. All of my hard hours of work and preparation were for that very performance. The lights shown on the freshly cut football field, the crowd filled the stands, and we were all stood at attention at the endzone. It was the home invite for the Kankakee Valley High School Marching Band and twelve other schools from all around.
I recall looking into the passionate eyes of one of my fellow seniors and telling him, “We have twenty-four minutes of football left in our lives, let’s make them count.” Our team continued to resist the embarrassment of helplessness in the second half, but it appeared obvious that we were outmatched. We lacked size, strength, speed, and proper teaching; four things that highly increase your chances of winning a football game. With around two minutes left in the football game Newton had the ball. I remember thinking “This will be the last drive of my life.” The temperature continued to drop, and we were losing forty five to
At the end of the three weeks the team had an inter squad scrimmage so the coaches could actually see how we performed in an actual game. I went into that scrimmage very relaxed and confident and came out feeling very confident and knowing that I did what I needed to do to make the team. The day finally came where we found out if we made the team or not.
I knew I would make the team but I didn't know if I would start so I was nervous. The end of the school day arrived,and I headed out to the football field after changing. I was hyped for tryouts. All of my friends were there, and we were all going to be on a team.
The first practice hit you hard we started off with sprints and that was awful people throwing up all around me and I can’t catch my breath but you keep pushing it. I think that was the turning point for me I knew that a lot of people looked at me like small kid that shouldn’t play but after beating them in sprints they saw I was not going to give up. Later on that season it was our 4 game in the season we were going up against Carbondale and we are only up by 6 on defense one of our players go down. I just got off the field on offense they said we need someone I ran to them said I will go in they gave me the nod. When I got on the field it was strange because I never played defense at the time I was just thinking just hit the kid with the ball and you will do fine. The ball snapped so I started back peddling and watching the line men to see if they fire off the line if so it was a run if they backed peddled it was a pass. They fired off the line it was a run so my next thought was where but at soon I was thinking that I saw the running back was coming my way so pushed the receiver off me so it was just me and him. It happen so fast the guy and try to make cut outside but I manage to stick my foot in the ground change direction to tackle him. When I looked up at the time
Riley, our starting quarterback, placed his hands on the helmet of the right tackle, as he did every play. He called the play looking straight into my eyes signaling the pass was coming to me. My entire body tingled with excitement as I ran to the left of the field. I could feel my cleats dig into the soft, freshly cut field as I took my stance. I looked up into the sky seeing only white lights which created the stage for the football field. As I brought my head down slowly to see the white eyes of the defender across from me, my heart beat slowed and I was still, in peace for the short moment. The quarterback hiked the ball and I began in pursuit; shifting, juking to get away from my defender. We were side-by-side running down the field as the ball was thrown into the air, coming strait to me. I jumped up and became airborne, snagging it from the lit up, night sky. Falling back with the ball secured into my arms, I felt my defenders full weight push into my left leg. A snap rang out as we hit the ground together and I looked down to see a large bump sticking straight left out of my
The game started and it really set in that this was the most important game of my life. We got up quick in the first period by a goal from Kyle Schott. I was confident that we were going to win until late in the second period they scored on a slap shot from the blue line. The game was intense after this happened and everything you did mattered a lot more now. Late in the third period when our senior forward Cade Saeugling got on a break away and got tripped by a Sioux City defender.
There were millions of heads watching us prepare for the competition. I sat still and stayed calm. My other teammates were just as worried about it as I was. I could just see it. We had no idea who they were rooting for, so that just made us more nervous.
It was two days until the first game of my last high school football season. My team and I were going to play Bayfield, a battle we had persistently prepared for since the last game of our junior year. The sun was beating on my pads, radiating the heat to make practice seem even worse. I was exhausted and looking forward to the end of my last sweat poring practice for the week. Our team was repetitively executing plays to make sure they were like second nature to us on Friday.
It was the most incredible feeling as we walked into the gym. I knew right then it was most-likely going to be the best day of my life, but that was no surprise! I remember it like it was yesterday, in the first match of the game, we were losing but we kept them on their toes and wouldn’t back off. We were up with a score of 24-22; my team couldn’t let the ball hit the ground on our side. This means we have to go for everything, because this is a really important game.
Everyone knew that this game was going to be impossible to win, so we all sort of shrugged it off. The last practice before this game consisted of reminiscing more than drills. Even our coach knew we were going to get killed, but for some reason everyone had in the back of their minds ‘what if…’
That season we went to make the playoffs for the first time in eight years, but had lost in the first round. Although we lost we all knew next year would be one hundred percent better. It was all because of our coach he brought a new belief that we could believe in ourselves. This followed into my seni...
