Football Uniforms: A Fictional Narrative

The pressure was on. Myself as well as my middle school football team had been practicing for weeks to beat our opponent, Southport Middle School. They had beaten up the year before and it was our turn to pay them back.

School is a place for education and not looks. This is relevant to my topic because school uniforms help a student focus on education and not how they look in the classroom. Today students need to focus on getting good grades and their attendance before worrying about how they can impress other students. One thing it helps is school work and focus in the classroom. It has led to students having better behavior and improving attendance. Uniforms are also cost effective for parents that can't afford name brand clothes.

The day the team got together and fought threw a tough battle facing pinnacle high school. It was our second home game and our record was 1-2. After all of the hard work we had put in over summer, we realized we could not lose, especially in front of our home crowd. At the beginning of the game we did our usual warm-ups, I have never felt so much adrenaline pushing threw my veins in my life. After the warm-ups the whole team got in a big huddle, we chanted a chant that will never be forgotten and one day make history for the pride. After the chant we got ready for kick-off, lined up and ready to go. The crowd started cheering at the first 2 seconds of the game “go pride go, go pride go”. This made the whole team nervous, not just because there was so many

The car stopped abruptly, Tom jolted forward as the car had no seat belts. He felt his slightly damp back peel off the warm leather. He could see the other children playing rowdily in the mud, running, splashing, throwing the ring between them. Tom couldn’t wait to get out of the car, as it was trapping the heat from the above average day. Before Tom got the chance to jump out of the car, he felt his mothers boney hands grab his upper arm.

“Oh I see where we took a wrong turn,” Kelley sighed with relief, “We have to take a right and then go straight all the way to that bridge.” They began walking, all relieved that they found a way out of the sticky situation that they were in. “I see our mom,” Will announced as they walked up towards their mom. Finally they reached Kelley and Will’s mom, “Why do you all look so nervous and sweaty?” Their mom questioned. All four of them laughed, “Just a bit nervous from the rides,” Makayla stuttered with an uneasy look on her face. Kelley and Will’s mom just looked at them and replied with, “Alright well it’s about 3 o’clock now, we have about four to five hours left before we need to leave so when it is 6:30 come and meet me back here and then we can leave.” Kelley nodded in agreement and laughed, “Yes ma'am.” Several hours passed by and it was now time for these four crazy teens to get going, “I’m so glad we found that map,” Kristin stated as her and Will walked out the exit gate. “Me too, I don’t know what we would of done without that map,” he whispered

The first encounter of the woman and the officer resulted with the woman's humiliation not only racist, but also in a sexually discriminating way in front of her husband. Her reaction to this incident and the discussion she has had with her husband even makes her marriage become on the rocks. The next day when she gets frustrated by her husband, after a failing attempt for dialogue, she gets involved in a car accident and gets stuck in her car. She reacts aggressively after seeing that the racist, sexually perverted police officer is actually trying to get her out of the car. After a while of resistance to the officer, she gives up when she realizes that the car is about to explode in a while. During the attempt of rescue, the flames around the car grow, and the other officers try to get the racist officer out of the car. Here, we can see another climax which creates an impact on both characters and the audience. The police officer gets away from his friends and keeps on trying to save the woman. In this moment we can see how both characters change the way they see each other, as a mutual point of basic contact and decent human communication. After saving the woman's life, it is noticeable that the police officer’s attitude changes along with the rescued woman who didn’t want him to save her at

She nearly slide out of her seat when the car came to a stop, she lifted her head and looked at the male. “Worn someone when you are going to break the car so damn sudden.” She shouted at him. “I could have been killed.” She rolled her eyes. She knew she really wasn’t going to die but she could get badly hurt. “Why did you stop anyways we aren’t…” She turned her head to look out the window, she cocked her head to the side. She arched her brow a little. “Now that’s something you don’t see every day.” She spoke aloud so every in the car could hear

37-37, it was anybodys game now, i looked up at the clock and we only had 27 seconds left. "ready set,HUT"

“Hey, kids, you wanna go for a ride in the car?” Mama yelled out the front door of the little white four room house our family of six lived in. We kids jumped up and down, yelling, “Yes, yes.” “Where we goin, Mama?” “Just get in the backseat of the car and you’ll see when we get there,” Mama replied as she scooted under the steering wheel of our beloved light gray Kaiser that was our only means of getting anywhere. Four kids crammed into the backseat, halfway sitting on top of each other and arguing the whole while over who’s going to get to sit next to the door. “First we have to stop and pick up Daddy from work,” Mama told us as she tried to calm the excitement we were all exhibiting, “then you‘ll find out where we’re goin.”

Once I wanted a football jersey, but my parents said that I had to buy it with my own money and I didn't have enough money….

Over the course of the history of football, the game has been played with no helmets, to helmets that are decreasing the amount of head injuries. There have been many different variations of helmets, and they have improved over the years as a result of many studies that have shown the damage a player can take in football without any protective headgear. Football helmets have gone from stages of thin, leather, to hard plastic helmets, with no facemask, all the way to the safest helmets ever that have foam pads inside and a very durable facemask. In 1893, the first football helmet was invented by an Annapolis shoemaker.

“Skylar, come on! The truck is about to leave!” my mom shouted as she walked outside to the U-haul truck containing precious memories of the past thirteen years of my life. “Alright, mom!” I aggressively shouted back to her, knowing full well she would not appreciate my tone. Despite my resistance towards the events of the day, I trudged out of my bare room with the last of my Vera Bradley luggage and loaded up the truck.

Sports have changed drastically since 1949. Sports dress codes are more protective and less conservative than the dress codes of earlier days. Sports gradually became more popular and defined differently approaching today. Tracks used in NASCAR have improved because of creations of concrete and pavement; creators had more to work with and made longer tracks which would make for more laps and superspeedways. Safer and faster cars could travel the longer to the changes in makes so they could be the fastest and win. With changes in makes came changes in the race name, which often used the type of car raced or track inventor in the name. Changes in football uniforms have increased the number of football teams due to the increased protection from

A beautiful summer’s day, and I am so excited to see them that I can barely contain myself. They pull up in a large grey car, and when they get out I am surprised at how little I recognize of them, but then again I haven’t seen them sense I was four. After an extended hello they pull me into the back of their car. I see the reminisce of a long car ride in the back seat.

All the boys wearing their football jerseys at school. Automatically we know it is game day. All throughout the day the high schoolers are eager to get out and prepare for the game. The town of Kindred shows up to cheer on the boys on the football field. Football games on Fridays are the best. There can’t be enough of them.
