Monday afternoon when David got home he got a phone call from Alabama’s Head Coach, Nick Saban. Saban said,” Hey, David.This is Nick Saban. I was calling to say I heard about your performance Friday night, and I would love to have you come out, so I could see what all the talk is about.” David agreed and scheduled a tryout for that coming up Saturday. Once David got off the phone, he wrote down on every calendar “ALABAMA TRYOUT” for September 6. After he finished writing on the calendars and was able to tone down his high-pitched, excited girl squeals into a more manly fashion, he called his friends to tell them the good news. His friends were excited for him because they knew how long he had been wishing for this day to come. They decided to throw a party for David Friday night to celebrate this big moment for

Another Sunday, another Sunday with the New York Mets being blown out. After taking 2 out of the 3 from the Colorado Rockies, the Mets currently sit 9.5 games out of second wild card spot in the National League. It would have been nice for to the Mets end up sweeping the Rockies and end the weekend 7.5 games out. With 7 games remaining on the home stand, I believe that if the Mets want to be involved in a discussion for the wild card spot, they will need to at least win 5 of the games. With 4 games against the Cardinals and 3 against the lonely Oakland A’s, it won’t be easy. As seen the weekend before the all-star break, the Mets went to St. Louis and lost 2 out 3, including only scoring 1 run in the final two days. The end of

In my opinion I think foot ball is a little dangerous for children because there have been some accidental death from non-legal hits and different injuries sustained from playing the sport. One of the more serious injuries someone can get from playing football is paralysis and this is caused from an idiot player that decides to use his head, instead of his hands and rams it into the middle of your spinal column.

Practicing football is not an enjoyable activity; however, if any team wants to be successful, practice is a necessity. Football is a physical sport and the team works on different tackling drills during practice in order to toughen up the players. The mental aspect of football is also important. Football practice is a mental challenge because the players are expected to remember the plays, which the coach teaches them. Without practicing all of the plays, the team will not succeed in their season.

The Colts are my favorite professional football team, though my act of rebellion was rooting for the Seahawks. Also for the record, I was a fan of the Seahawks before they were good! No one every believes me though. I'm a St. Louis Cardinals fan, and for college teams I'm IU all the way.

Football is a favorite American pastime. Everywhere in America, young men in high school dream about one day playing for a college, or even a professional team. For them, it may have started at a young age, but it is most relevant when playing in high school. This dream is different for each individual, but each team has the same goal at the start of every season. This goal is to make the high school state football championship playoffs. Of all the things that the playoffs bring, the atmosphere of each game is what makes every practice and game worthwhile.

Playing a sport can teach you a lot of things. You will learn more about the sport, but you will also learn more about yourself and grow as a person. I like all sports because of the competitiveness and heart that each athlete puts into their respective sport which really inspires me. Everyone will have their own sport that they’re good at or love, but mine happens to be football. Football is the sport of hard hitting, ankle breaking, spectacular catching, and awesome moments. Being on the football field taught me to love and learn the sport, how to grow as a person and as a team, and also a lesson.

In 2015, the Staples Boys Soccer team lost in the FCIAC quarterfinals, and lost in the state playoffs in a penalty shootout. This year expectations were high for the team, but halfway through the season expectations were not met. Heading into the year after early morning offseason workouts, and going through a whole revamp of the boys soccer system the team felt confident that they would finish towards the top of the table, and have a shot in the FCIAC and state playoffs. Junior defenseman Chris Martenson said, “Expectations were that we were going to do well and get into the state playoffs, and get far in them”. The whole Staples community thought that something great would happen this year with a solid core of seniors, and star underclassmen, this team had and has the potential to do incredible things. Through 8 games they were sitting in the middle part of the table with a record of 3-2-3 record.

Kids make a tunnel and talk rapidly back and forth to each other as the adrenaline fills them. We slowly start to walk forward as the beat gets louder. Band members click their drum sticks on the rims of their huge round drums. The crowd claps to the beat. Goosebumps begin to form on my arms as a chill runs down my loose spine. The smoke machines turn on and a dense white cloud fills the air. I scream, “Let’s go!” as we take off through the tunnel of kids. The only thing racing through my mind right now is how I will do anything I possibly can to beat that guy across from me. I will play harder than them. Running faster than ever before, I effortlessly stride out through the banner as the crowd booms with cheer. Adrenaline runs from my tall black socks, up to the annoying orange mouthguard, that I have sucked onto my clenched teeth. The student section flings flour into the air, and we jump in a huddle as we start our day by day chant, led by John. We repeat after him, “Day by day, we get better and better. We can’t be beat, won’t be beat, we are the West Delaware Hawks.” After one of the greatest warm ups and entrances in the state of Iowa, I am physically and mentally amped to go and win another football

Finding out that Coach Harmon won’t make it to the game was one of the most terrifying moments for Mission High School football team. He coached the Mission High School Bears for 12 years. Despite the fact that the Bears have always lost their rivalry game to Gateway High School, Coach Harmon never lost his hope in winning the golden football trophy , which was the most respected trophy in the county. We started a perfect season with 8 wins and a tie. Our team was getting ready for the big Friday game when we heard that Coach Harmon got into a car accident. Startled and bewildered, my teammates and I headed down the nearest hospital. It was really shocking

In typical fashion, the sun beats down on the field, generating extreme heat before the game begins. We have been looking forward to a rematch after our devastating loss the previous season. After warmups, I take my place in line next to my teammates. The recorded National Anthem begins to play across the field. As I look down the line of players, I am relieved to see that all have made the choice to stand and honor the flag. What would I do if they had chosen to take a knee? I understand that being an American gives us freedoms that other countries cannot comprehend; however, I know that these freedoms came with a price.
