My Dream Cricket Game

It was a hot summer day in Hammond, Louisiana and I was pouring down sweat like I had just jumped in a pool. The game was just about to begin, me and my team was eagle eyeing the bomb squad. It was so quiet that you could hear your own sweat hitting the bench. The umpire broke up everyone’s concentration by saying, “play ball”! The defense had ran out on the field and I started rolling ground balls from 2nd to short-stop to third base. They had all made good throws back to me and then I threw the ball into the dug-out because the game had begun.

Soccer had taught me many things in life. It showed me the significance of family in all forms, to be responsible and appreciative of my peers and elders. I will never forget that day, no matter how old I am, because I had learned an essential lesson, to never give

Soccer was a huge thing in my community so when one of my friends named Julio invited me to join his soccer team i got so happy i went to go buy new pairs of shoes to show them off and to this day i will never forget what those shoes were they were these blue and grey nike mercurial shoes. I went to my first game and that's when i met more people that also loved soccer like i did but they went to different schools so i didn't really know them. My team won the league and also the finals i was 8 years old when all this happened and as an award for winning the finals my team was rewarded with a huge trophy. What made that day the most memorable day of all is when i received a separate trophy and on the trophy it had written “Star player” that's when i

First, the rich aroma of fatty fried foods wafts through the air, second loud cheers & boos surround the stadium and lastly a tingling sensation of excitement fills the body. This the stadium of American football the most toughest and brutal sport known to man, the sport where throwing simple pigskin across the field that became a favorite pastime for most people.Football in it’s origins wasn’t well respected and it was considerably feared by many Americans when football was first played on the grassy football field. The brutality of the game has lessen to a tolerable degree now in modern time, so it can be more pleasing to the public to watch, then in which lead to the sport gaining a massive fanbase in America.

That morning I woke up on the second week of summer, ready for my championship baseball game against Portsmouth. Our U11 all star team sat in second place in the tournament going into the championship against the number one seed Portsmouth Eagles. The whole day leading to the game, all I could think about was the game, not even the amazing apple pie my mom made because my sister begged for it.

As I am on my way to find my seat all I can think about is the overpowering food smell flowing from the concession stands. As I made my way down to the field, I no longer had that weight on my shoulders and felt as calm as a millpond. Yelling at players, just trying to get a ball is one thing, seeing that ball come toward your direction feels like a $100 bill just sitting beneath me. Catching that ball was one of the most memorable moments I have had while being at Wrigley Field. As the game is about ready to begin and all the fans rise to their feet and begin to cheer for the Cubs. The game got into the middle innings and the score was still tied at zero. In the bottom of the 6th the fan favorite Kris Bryant stepped up to the plate with runners on 2nd and 3rd. As he was introduced and stepped up to the batter’s box, every single fan rose from their seats. The pitcher had that feared look on his face and began his delivering toward home. The pitch was right down the middle of the plate and as the ball popped off the bat, the stadium sounded like a large group of lions roaring in a secluded area. Kris had just given the Cubs the lead and the stadium was rocking as it felt like a jungle. The Cubs went on to win the game 3-1 and I had one of the greatest experiences and most amazing days of my life that

The next day was game day we all stayed in the same hotel so we all eat breakfast. I was quarterback so I had the most pressure on me. The football players left on the bus and went down there when we got there there was so many people there. I had butterflies in my stomach so, bad there was 3 hours before the game.

When my coach put me in the game I looked at him and said are you sure you want me to do this coach he said yes get out here and play and have a good time while you’re out there. I ran out to left field and I had that feeling like please don’t hit the ball to me but that didn’t happen the next pitch the ball came straight out to left field and I made this play that I was really proud of myself for it was a huge part of my life to be able to go out there and making plays and not letting my team down and having are team play like a teams it was just a great time.

Everyone was so happy that we won the championship because my team has not won in 10 years it seems like forever. The crowd was cheering so much for us. I was so happy that I have tried my best all the time and that it is ok to make mistakes. We make them all of the time even if we do not notice

When we arrived we did not have one day of rest, and the next day after arriving we had the game, which we lost. It was a great game for me, even though we lost. The next day, however, was great because I get my first home run and we won that game. We were all very happy that day. We got to go to the pool of the hotel and after I spend sometimes with my teammates thee coaches took us to eat quality food at a restaurant.

At the beginning of the game I got to go on the field with my family and support my brother in his senior night as a film crew member. While I was down there waiting for the presentation I got to watch the game from the sidelines which was an amazing experience for me. Then the presentation started and we got to be shown on the jumbotron for my brother’s recognition. Once we were done with

Then, it landed perfectly in my glove, and for the first time, I caught the ball! It was so thrilling and I loved it! “Great catch!” the families sitting by us exclaimed. Although that was exciting, the Royal’s won the game 4-3! I was so proud of them, and I had so much fun a the game.

more ease than others, but here we are waiting to play the game that could win it all. It was just a little tournament to some people, but to us it was redeeming ourselves. Every year prior to that day we have gotten third in the tournament, being beaten by the same team each year. We knew it was our year, but watching the other teams play some of us weren’t so sure anymore.

We were all set up on the field ready for the game, I remember closing my eyes forabout a minute before the game started, that minute felt like 10 years, I froze and thought aboutmyself when I was 3 years old and how I first fell in love with the game and how my ultimatedream was to become pro, I remember the hours of pain and suffering I put myself through tobecome the player I was today, I remembered waking up at 4 a.m. on school mornings to go forruns so that I could run longer in games,I remember skipping parties and hanging with friendsso that I could train, I remembered everything, but one thing truly hit me was how much soccerwas there for me growing up my parents argued a lot and when I was feeling sad and lonely Iwould go train at the fields and it would hell my sorrow. Growing up in a household when yourparents are constantly fighting is difficult, but soccer was my out lit it was my therapist. Duringthe time of their divorce I felt like I had no one but soccer so I decided I need to give back to thegame. Soccer did so much for me, so I wanted to prove to it that it wasn't a waste of time andthat I would make something out of the game. I opened my eyes and didn't feel human anymore Ididn't feel in control of my own body the sport had taken over me for the better. I remembermoments when I was running and it didn't even feel like my feet were touching the floor

It was time to take the group photo with our trophy. The team gathered in rows and smiled. We took one holding up a one for first place and then with a double U for the win. Then the fan section surrounded us for a group photo. After we took individual photos and the crowd calmed down, we loaded the bus to return to Eureka in victory. We were escorted
