Frank Kennelly's Game Analysis

Wesley shook and smacked Kevin trying to wake him up thinking he was asleep. When he didn't wake up he called for help. The coach and bus driver ran to the back of the bus to see what was wrong. The team was in shock as they saw their star player being taken away in the black latex body bag of death. With tensions high and emotion everywhere, the team started thinking about what could have happened. One team mate thought about earlier in the day during school when Kevin and his “friend” got into a fight about a girl they both wanted to take to the Senior Prom. The fight was intense and both people said something that shouldn't have been said. They both jumped on one another out of rage and started swinging and shouting. A teacher came to break up the fight and when the dust settled both boys were bleeding and bruised. After the recollection a boy shouted “what if his “friend” poisoned his or caused trauma to his heart or brain?” Everyone started chatting amongst themselves, gossiping and planning to get the “friend”. After the chatting came to a minimum another player stated that he was with Kevin the entire day and he didn't eat or drink much after the fight and he didn't seem like himself after that. Everyone was shocked and looked frightened because Kevin was a diabetic and he need to maintain a steady blood sugar level. “If

I felt my heart racing as I imagined making the top team in the club. I knew right then and there that I was going to try out for the team as soon as I discussed it with my parents. After my parents’ approval, I went to the first tryout with high expectations and aspirations. The tryout was going well at first; my skill was evident on the ice. I was making quick passes and skating hard. I will never forget the fateful pass that happened next. I remember the play in slow motion. I passed the puck through the center ice, a precarious move, but it was intercepted by the opposing team and as a result they scored a swift goal. Groans from the other players could be heard and my heart sank. That pass would determine my fate. After the tryout, I undressed slowly replaying the pass repeatedly in my head. Coach Ruben walked out of his office with the list of players who made the team in his hand. As he posted the list on the bulletin board, all the eager players ran over, examining the list of names. I stared at at the list for what seemed like an eternity searching for my name, but it was not there. I stifled my disappointment and followed my parents out to the car. To my ten year old self, my dreams were crushed and I assumed my hockey career was over before it even

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

While other students were out celebrating the first week of summer, the New Albany Girls Lacrosse team was practicing for one of the biggest moments in their lives. They were preparing to compete in the Division II Lacrosse State Championship Game on June 1st. The team had one week to ensure they knew their plays, calls and were general ready for one of the toughest games of the year. Among this team there were twenty-five girls, and within this group of girls there were only two goalies. These two goalies, Kathleen Schell and Grace Anthony, had to hold the team together. Kathleen was talking to Grace before the end of practice and told her “I am really nervous, because I don’t know who coach is going to throw out there first. Also, what if

The next game was early in the morning against region 3 who is known to have some of the best players around nut after the end of the 2nd period we were tied 3-3. “Lets rush the the nat and try to score”, Matt our top scorer said. “No, let's just stay in our own zone and just play defence and not then them score. after we see a weakness we just rush ahead and attack!” said Joe, another player on the team. I didn’t think much of Joe and I voted for Matt’s idea. I shouldn't have. The nest period we got swept off our feet the the south in the dust bowl. We lost

We were playing Fond du lac, and they were good. So our teams gets on the ice and we start playing. We score two goals right away in the beginning. They were starting to get mad. After we scored to make it 3-0 they started sending out kids that would hit our players. Our team then started to retaliate. So we were getting penalties and before you knew it the score was 2-3. We started to realize that it wasn’t worth retaliating. There was about two minutes left in the game, and we played shutdown defense. Nobody was getting a shot on our goalie. The game ended 3-2 us so we were on our way to

With the new Under Fifteen team reconstituted and the season back on, the boys were only seven days away from their first game.

In Quebec City, Patrick Roy was born on October 5, 1965. His parents were doing very well in life. His father was a great tennis player as well as an amateur baseball player. His mother was a nationally ranked swimmer for her country. Patrick began his journey playing hockey at the age of six years old. He never started out playing in the net but when the goalie on his local team got hurt, Patrick said he would give it a try and never left that position ever since. An interesting fact was that he loved it so much, at home, he would strap pillows to his legs using them as pads. He loved playing goalie so much, he started playing that position for his local junior and midget hockey leagues. Patrick Roy dropped out of school in the eleventh grade and with the help of his parents he played in the Quebec junior league. He played for the team the Granby Bison’s which didn’t go so well for the team but great for Patrick Roy. What I mean by that is the team finished the season with a record of sixteen to

There he was sitting in the bleachers waiting for the game to be over hoping that it wouldn't be long. His little brother, Mike, was playing a lacrosse game, the hardest one of their season. Mike was pretty good, but not as good as the people on the other team. The score was 17-2, they were ranked number two in the state, but these guys were number one.

There was at a point where Ricky made a meaningful speech to his teammates. You could tell the faces of Ricky teammates that Ricky really meant his speech. Everyone was ready for tomorrow finals. Whatever happens we're just friends that are playing basketball. It was the day of final, crowds, coaches from all over the states, here to watch 2 top high school team play against each other.

Throughout the course of talking about Herb Brooks and numerous other players, like Boston born players Jack O’Callahan and Mike Eruzione, the Soviets had taken a 2-1 lead over the United States. A 50-foot goal from Buzz Schneider tied it up with 6 minutes left in the first, but not even three minutes later Soviet Sergei Makarov tied it up. Just when everyone thought the period was over Mark Johnson broke through the defense and scored a complete momentum changer of a goal with no time left. Coffey goes into great detail on how this was the most important and improbable goal of the game, which caused the Americans to win.

The text ‘A Good Keen Man’, written by Barry Crump, is about the author telling his story of when he was a deer culler, I was annoyed when the author said,’...And my partner returned to town for a lighter rifle, never to return.’ The author’s hunting partner was not good at what he was doing so he up and left without any notice. This annoys me when people leave on the job, saying they are just picking something up or says, ‘I won’t be long’, and never come back or return when it’s too late to work. People do this just so they do not have to do any work and can do something else. This annoys me because the person who stays behind has to do the work all by themselves and it takes twice as long to finish. If [people would not slack off on the

What you are about to read in this story is a busy and crazy family. We are a hockey family. Let me tell you more about the Hansen family. First, there is my dad. Four facts about this person is he likes to hunt, he likes to watch hockey, he is nice, and he is funny.

We passed all the security guards who all wished us good luck in our game. We finally arrived to our locker room where we all picked out a spot according to our position that we played. Our coach told us that all the defense and goalies should sit together and all the forwards should sit close. The second the team opened up their bags the raunchy stench of body odor filled the room. I set the stereo up and started playing the Rocky song that we would always listen to before every big game. The players were all dressed in our uniforms when the coach told us that he had a surprise for us. He yanked a box form the hallway and pulled out our new jerseys that he ordered for the great accomplishment. This reward reminded everyone of our unbelievable journey to the state game. Coach handed the jerseys out telling us the pride we should feel as we slip the sweater on. We had twenty minutes until the challenge when our coach ordered everyone to be quiet for his pre-game speech. He started out telling us how proud he was to be our coach and whatever happens in the next two hours he commends us. The rest of the speech was the strategy he wanted to use if we encounter any problems. In his final words the horn rang telling both the teams that it was time to take the ice.
