Personal Narrative: My First Lacrosse Team

I Thought I was going to quit until I had found the team for me. One Year ago I had started my journey in lacrosse, Starting out my second year I was going into tryouts with confidence that I would make Either A or B and I did. I was So happy when I was told I had made B I thought it would be great. We had ended up losing every game of the season that year. throughout the year getting called up to play A a few times really made us look bad knowing how good they were and it added gas to the fire of quitting. Playoffs were starting up now and we won every game until the game that would send us to provincials we had lost because all of our players that could be good kept getting into scraps and got thrown from the game. This was the season that

Right before provincials we had played in a calgary tournament that had shook us losing to the second place team on the south side that however did not make provincials witch put a bit of a scare on us going into provincials.

Game 2 was on the way and we all knew even though that we had won our first game it was not our best performance so we wanted to do better. The start of the next game had started off much slower then rapidly picked up half way through the 2nd quarter and goals started to generate. Even though the calgary Axemen had scored a goal after the buzzer we had still been in the lead, In the last few minutes the game had picked up speed again even faster than before and we were pushing harder than ever. Every second the hits got bigger,and stadium got louder from banging sticks and people cheering.The last 10 second had arrived ever so slowly and it was to the point when all you could feel was our hearts beating and the sound of the audience drowning out then looking at the clock take its last seconds 3...2...1.. Then the sound of the buzzer and the greatest feeling in the world. We had finally done it and not quitting had paid off, it felt like the famous Nelson Mandela once said “It always seems impossible until it's
