Lax Tournament Sunday April 24, 2016. This was the date of this tournament. The team that I’m on is called the Berlin Bulldogs. Berlin is the town that we support, and Bulldogs to support that we’re a tough and strong team. We played eight games and lost 3, won 3, and tied 2 of the games. Most of the parents that we had to support us, were supplying the food and drinks so that we wouldn’t starve or run out of drinks. We had a chant, a great team, and the best coaches that guided us through the success that we needed. The worst part of this tournament was that we’re a 2nd league team and we were playing against the best of the best teams. The strange thing was that we won against one of those teams by 10 points (they must have played against really easy teams to become the best of the best teams!). The fields that we played on had the greenest of grass, but the fields were horrible because there were many areas that had holes and many people on the teams came off the field in pain because of falling into those holes. …show more content…
I’m a jr lacrosse player and I’m also able to play up as a sr lacrosse player. Since I’m a sr and jr, I was in South Windsor for 8-9 hours playing for only 200 minutes in total. All of the games that my team and I played were only 25-30 minute games but since I was there all day, it felt like I was there for EVER! The fun thing was I got to hang out with my lacrosse team for the whole day and won together and lost together as a team. Not one of us wasn’t able to score at least one goal during the sr games because they were easy to get by but not so easy to stop. The easiest teams that we were easy to beat by 10 points was Ellington. All of the players on every team played dirty, and were TALL! I felt like a little 2 year old playing against them! On one of the teams they had a 9th grader that wasn’t allowed to be on the team and when the coach on my team found out, they had to forfeit the game, so we won
Now in its third year, the March Book Madness reading incentive program continues to make strides in increasing the number of readers in elementary and secondary schools.
The third game, that was previously postponed, was a tie at 8-8 with a team from Bucks County. Then it was a waiting game to see who and when we would play. We ended up playing a team called Big Sky and won that game. Then right after that we played York A team for the gold medal; which no keystone west team had ever won. The game was a long one if you were playing even though the game was only 40 minutes it felt like 2 hours. The game was 6-2 at the half and the keystone West team were winning. With under 1 minute left in the game the score was West 12 a York A had 8. York ran the ball down the field and then throw it out of bounds with under 30 seconds. West got the send it call and that is what they did and ended that throw with a goal. That ended the game and all but one of the West team ran to their goalie but I did not. I was in so much shock from how I went from one position to another in under a year and was one of the best in Western PA and how much we practice we had to let this moment happen. I am now and was and will always be proud of what happened with this
Well, as a lifelong native of Northeast Ohio and a diehard Cleveland sports fan, I’m more than a little upset as I write this latest blog, which is a few hours after the Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals.
Lacrosse is a contact sport composed of two teams, using a small rubber ball and a hand held stick. Lacrosse has roots in cultural tradition of Iroquois people that inhabited what is now new york and parts of New England. Traditionally a northeastern sport, it has recently moved into the south. Study suggests it may have developed as early as the 1,100’s amongst indigenous people.By the 1,700’s, it was apparently well established, documented by Jesuit missionary priests in what we now know as Canada. The game has evolved a lot differently since then. In the traditional Canadian version, each team consisted of about one hundred to one thousand men on a field just about the size of a modern soccer field. The games lasted for two to three days, from sunrise, to sunset, played as a ceremonial type of ritual, like a symbolic warfare to thank the creators.
The day College of Faith football team played, Missouri S&T was in the fall of 2015, it was cold. At the time me and my brothers on the football team came off a big lost to the Cougars of St. Francis. The St.Francis Cougars Are located in Fort Wayne, Texas. They are a very big school, the cougars were undefeated the whole year round. After the 65-0 lost to the cougars, we the College of Faith, had a game against Missouri S&T. I felt like a raging superstar on field, I had 8 tackles, 1 big blindside sack and 1 pass deflect, it was very cool and also sunny. Unfortunately, we got demolish, the whole team quit.We lost 64-0 Football taught me to value my life more and be more ongoing to learn new things.
September 27 is a day that I will always remember, no matter how old I get. McClain was competing against Miami Trace in a SCOL boy’s soccer match. It is always a close game when Greenfield plays Trace, but this year it was different than the previous few. The two teams were so evenly matched, even more so than than in the past. There were twenty minutes remaining in the second half and the Panthers were winning 1-0, but the game was even more highly
When I went to practice at the first time, I was really nervous. But when we introduce each other, I got to know them and started to make friends with them. they are like my family where we look after each other. like what coach said, " If a lacrosse player sees a lacrosse player walking while they're driving, they'll pick that player up." And I kept that in my head.
Some lacrosse players just starting can be as young as three. From 3-14, kids play at the youth level. Those kids could move on to high school lacrosse, potentially college, and maybe play professionally. Lacrosse would not be what it is today without its athletes. One of the most well-known athletes in lacrosse is Trevor
We have spent countless hours together driving all over the north-east to practices, games, and tournaments. Pursuing my passion has forced me to be creative and make some challenging decisions. At the start of ninth grade, my former school, Collegiate, announced it was dropping its lacrosse program. While my family and I fought hard to convince them to keep the team, we ended up needing to seek out an alternative solution. I contacted most of the coaches and athletic directors at New York City private schools acting if I could practice with their squad.
Ever since I was 8 years old, lacrosse has been my life. My teammates are my family, the field is my home, and the game is a huge part of who I am. When I was 12 and entering middle school I decided it was time to join a more serious team with other guys like me, that share my passion for the sport. I ended up joining an "alright" team with a bunch of "alright" players. After a few seasons with them, I realized I wasn't challenging myself and playing up to my potentional. My parents and I decided it was time for me to take it to the next level and join one of the most prestigiuos boys lacrosse travel teams on Long Island; the Long Island Outlaws.
It all came down to this game. We had lost to Fort Branch during our first game of the school year and then came our chance for redemption, the annual 7th Grade Volleyball Tournament. The air was thick with tension as both teams warmed up. The time on the clock slowly slipped away as we got prepared and soon enough, it was time to start the game. Coach Elpers gathered our team all around her and gave us a motivational speech. We gathered in a huddle and all shouted, “Lady Elites” on the count of three. Then, we ran onto the court to play the most important game of our season.
On February 28, 2005, I experienced one of the most exciting events that anyone could ever experience – winning a State Championship. The day my soccer team made history is a day I’ll never forget. However it is not just that day we won the title, but the whole experience of the preceding season that got us there. From start to finish, my team’s 2004-2005 season taught me that the platitude is true. You can do anything you set your mind to.
It was a Friday evening; our team gathered before the competition started in a couple of minutes. We all gave “good lucks” to one another and off we were to the competition. After what seemed like days, it was time for the award ceremony. We are able to see our
Each game is played differently depending on the opponent. It requires a lot of hand-eye coordination, and also a lot of athleticism. With that being said, it is one of the hardest sports to pick up. Referring to what was said earlier, there are quite a few new teams in Ohio. Often you see the new teams playing some of the older, more experienced team, so you see a lot more passing by the better team to kind of “stall” the clock. On the other hand, in the event you see two newer teams playing, the game is played much differently. The game is played a lot more sloppy, you will see a lot more turnovers and not as many goals. In the game of lacrosse you will never see two different teams play the exact same way. One team may want to play more defense and get quick goals to keep the game more up-tempo. However you may also see a team want to slow the game down on offense to avoid playing defense, to slow the game down and not play as much defense. Although the game of lacrosse still has the same basic goal, no matter the opponent, every team has different strategies for how they will control the
My team was playing in Denver at the Mountain Madness tournament, our last tournament of the year. It was the second day of the tournament and after suffering a loss earlier that morning, we really needed to play well if we wanted any chance at playing in the championship game the next day. I played for a
