FIRST JV Girl Football Player at ND Have you ever seen a girl play JV football at North Dickinson? Neither have I because I’m the first. I’m a freshman at ND. I played football before but his is my first high school team. It’s a lot different than Pop Warner football in 5-8 grade. The coaches were a little sketchy of me playing they tried to talk me out of it twice! I couldn’t believe they didn’t think a girl could do it. Yeah they worked me harder but it played off in the first game. Our first game gone it sucked! We lost badly, not to mention I didn’t play only on the special teams which is nothing but crap ugh. The bus on the way home was silent. When we got back to the school and ready to go for another practice. I was pumped I wanted to show my coaches and the team that I can indeed play football, so I could be one of the guys. All we did that practice was help the varsity out, and what they did for me was sit out, unbelievable I was furious ugh why can’t they see I want to play football too. What they didn’t see is I wanted to play not sit gee. That night I wanted to rip heads …show more content…

However during the scrimmage running back was fun, getting hit, bruised, and showing coach that a girl can just do as good. Almost every play I got the ball and yards. When it came to the last bit of the scrimmage (like two plays) Noah switched out with me and screwed up. Of course he would I knew it! I was dying of exhaustion and laughter. Soon the scrimmage came to an end (last time playing with the sophomore class) it was sad but a good sad because I knew I started and finished JV-football with the best team I could ask for. Although I knew we still ha this moment on the field. Once I realized we were done and headed off the field people from all directions told everyone good job and my parents and grandparents told me good job

Mikey and I started off by doing line drills and I wasn’t the best but I was doing what coach had asked everyone to do. I was the only one giving it 110%. Then long field passes were next. Again this was all new to me and I was just going with it. Thirty minutes into practice I felt a bump on my shoulder. It was coach Haven. He asked me, “Hey La Garsssa how long have you been playing lacrosse for? I responded with “oh you know 30mi…. he was shocked and wasn’t ready for the response.

    I had been told that it was much harder and the players were bigger faster and stronger, so I thought that I was not going to be the Tom’s next favorite target and that I got lucky in youth football by playing against a bunch of unskilled players. However I soon found out the middle school football was just as like youth football I would receive a short screen pass and then mostly because I was afraid to be tackled I would take off and score. With Jared throwing me the ball from either the line of scrimmage or forty yards down field we were unstoppable. We suffered one loss in our middle school career and went undefeated our 8th grade year. Yet again I was sure to be Tom’s next go to

    The day I had been practicing so much for was finally here. I didn't know what to think, I was more prepared than other people but still didn't think I would make the line. As I walked into tryouts the first day, I was confident , but at the same time, I knew I was nervous inside. I was one of the 3 freshman trying out. There were other people there who were on drumline the previous years. They looked like nothing was wrong to them and this tryout was pretty much a casual rehersal for them. All though , all thing all of them thought that we freshmen were terrible. We started

    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.

    However, I still was nervous and very hesitant when I went to my first varsity high school football practice. All the coaches looked at me as if I were an outsider. I had already been looked at as a player that wasn't gonna make it. I watched how the upperclassmen would act like they had more power or could disrespect the coaches. The players wouldn't give as much effort as me and because I had not made the team yet I had to work ten time harder. I prayed before every practice that I’d get better to prove to myself and to everybody who doubted me and said I couldn't make the team. When tryouts came, I played outstanding and had earned myself a spot on the team and had gained respect from the coaches and players due to my determination.

    Sadly, my family was going through financial struggles, forcing me out of the school zone I was destined to attend. When I discussed the situation wih the high school coaches they told me they would pick me up from my new house and take me to school every day; with the condition that I’d play football for them all throughout high school. Even though this was illegal I continued to go ahead and accept the offer. My first year of high school was so exciting that it went by in the blink of an eye. Sophomore year came and the clock ticked closer and closer to when everything would change. I started in varsity as a corner back but soon would have big shoes to fill as the team’s quarterback. Not only did this require skill and hard work but the ability and qualities of a leader as well. Ultimately, playing this position helped me acquire traits that would soon be necessary for success. That year was tough for us because the majority of the team consisted of inexperienced players, however the coaches knew I would be the one to lead the

    A year later, I was again chosen for the team. This time, I worked my way from being a back-up catcher to the starting 3rd baseman in two weeks. But after going 0-2 in my first two at-bats, my coach took me out of the starting line-up. Again, I pinch-hit, and was very successful at it. I even hit what turned out to be a game-winning homerun. We later reached the championship game again, but we lost it for the second time. This time I was more frustrated than I could ever remember being. I was slamming my hand into walls and almost crying. I was really acting very childish.

    When I started playing football I was about eleven years old. I played for my park organization which was Brown Park. My first team name I played for was the Titians. The coach for the Titians is the one who actually made me come play because he had seen me in the basketball gym. He said I could move for my size and would like me to play with him. I said no but then he went talk to my mom and next thing I know my mom tells me I am playing football next year. I was horrible the first couple weeks but got better later in the season. I became one the best defense lineman and offensive lineman players on the team. Then when I got older I played football in middle school at Acadian Middle and Lafayette Christian Academy. My first year playing running back was when I went to Acadian Middle. In my middle school years I was just the power back. Players, people, and even coaches all thought I could not have been a speed back. But, when I got to high school at Lafayette Christian Academy, I started showing a glimpse that I can be an overall line back. It did not truly happen until the biggest play of my career came.

    In hindsight, I consider myself lucky to have been through so much in high school, as adversity built my resilience to the point that I could take these calamities in stride. I had formed the ability to emotionally detach myself from events at home, allowing me to continue to perform well here at the Academy. In the words of my mother when we first argued about whether or not it would be necessary for me to resign from the Academy to help at home, “You gave us all six years of your life to care for them, you can have four years to care for yourself.” My mom knew that if she had informed me of my grandfather’s condition during Beast, I would have been home within 48 hours. My mother forbade me from coming home during my first semester, so as
