Personal Narrative: Fresno State Game

With my eyes glued to the ball. Just waiting for the center to snap it to the quarterback I made sure my cleats were dug in and ready to go. As the center moved the ball I charged forward shoving the center out of the way and slamming my shoulder into the quarterback and taking him down before he had a chance to blink. After the play, there was time to think to myself about the past week, the events that had transpired, the important decision I had made, and about that one sunny day at practice.

Sunday, November 3, 2013 is a day that I remember so vividly. It was the day of my first ever Patriots game. I grew up surrounded by Patriots fans, my mom, my

Summer, a season where many are free to do whatever they please and not have a worry in the world. This is not the case, however, for a high school football player such as myself; for classes being released marks the start of another season, not summer, but football season. It was a hot day on Mount Diablo High’s football field; I could already feel sweat dripping down as I stood there in my armor. Players were separated between two categories: Skills players and the Linemen. The coaches came and said we had to do hitting drills to start of practice. So the linemen, Erik, D’antae, Xavier, Charlie, Jarreck, Anthony, Josh, and I, created a circle and waited to see who the coaches would call out first. To my surprise, there was someone in the

It was great talking with you. I always enjoy meeting someone from SC. Plus you are a Gamecock fan like myself. I went to the A&M game last year when they came to town. Hopefully this season is better than the last one.

On the way to the game we made many stops along the way. I slept most of the way there, so I didn’t actually get to view much. The times I was awake I could not wait to get there because I wanted to see what it was like to attend an LSU game. When we got to the campus, there were so many people there trying to get a parking spot. Finally, when we found a spot to park, we were extremely far away from the stadium and as we were walking up to all the tailgating spots, there was the LSU game day parade passing by. They threw out many things and after that we walked around for awhile, and finally it was time for the game to start. After a while of waiting to try to get in, we finally got in and we went looking for our seats. We had to walk up many stairs to get to our seats, and we waited for the game to initiate. When the game started everybody was hollering, jumping up and down, and full of excitement when the football players came out on the field, and I couldn’t wait to watch them

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.--One loss doesn't define a football season, unless a team lets that loss defeat their hopes and dreams.

I felt like my stomach was going to digest itself It was my first year of flames football we’re getting ready to get our teams picked.I did so bad in pre-season, I’ll probably be on the worst team.

I never really had a true passion for football in my early years of my life. I thought of it as a pointless game where a bunch of giant fat men fought over a brown pointy ball. My dad on the other hand, took football to a whole new level. Spartan football was and still is his life.

Ben shot a penalty kick with 4 minutes left in the game, giving NCSSM the lead 4-3. The student section went crazy, however South Alamacen then scored with 2:30 left in the game. Neither team scored after South Alamacen tied the game at 4, so the game ended in a tie, however the soccer team had a good performance. I appreciated how a majority of the NCSSM community was at the game to support its’ athletes, as the student section made up at least 40% of the school. Conversely, I disliked how everyone showed up late, but making an attempt to show up at all still shows good school spirit. At the game, I learned that NCSSM’s students are very talented in areas other than academics, in this case in athletics. I also learned that soccer games are the closest to football games here so many people attend the home games. I will attend similar events in the future, being sure to watch different sports, because I met a lot of new people and saw how talented my classmates were outside of the

It all started at the beginning of tryouts. The week of excitement and nervousness. Everyone was already making guesses on who was gonna be on the team. Then so it started, the first day was pretty easy and so was the next. The third was conditioning day, which was the worst. Then the last two days were fairly easy too. But those days were the most nerve racking. Those were the days when the cuts were made.

Stephen is a senior transferred to WCSU from Miami University in Ohio, it is better known for the home of the famous NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. That one fact made it a little easier to bond and converse with Stephen as I am a huge football fan and he happens to coach football. It wasn’t Stephen’s idea to transfer but his parents, they decided it was too expensive for him to go to school so far from home. He therefore transfer here and now lives in his parents basement in Ridgefield CT, and he commutes to school. Stephen is majoring in media studies and he hopes to do something in the field of being a promoter or a publicist. Stephen coaches high school football mainly to freshman's and he also is part of a baseball league. Stephen also loves to sing even though he claims he isn’t so good at it.

The environment that perfectly contents me the most is a football field. I have been in many places and it’s not the same as a football field when am in that field I feel free and stronger. I have always played football since I was six I can’t find any other better place for me than a football field. It’s like a big castle and am the king to be in it the grass, wind, smell and every touchdown feel me to be complete and having me wanting more of it. No one really understands why am doing this as a life dream most don’t believe in me but when it’s time to be in the field I realize that am doing right where I stand and it’s what will be my career. If it’s one thing I learned is that no matter the obstacle your only choices is going through it and I have gone through those obstacles no matter how big or hard it was being a football player on the field and out of it has made me a better

Happy February! I don’t know about you, but it was extremely hard to get fired up about the NBA yesterday, what with the Pro Bowl and all. How can an exciting and full Monday slate possibly compare to the true test of grit and determination that was offered in yesterday’s NFL “game” in Hawaii? We’re back for another day of dishing out excellent DFS picks.

As the season really get going and homecoming game come and then Senior night comes as it goes so fast but as team you get closer and closer. The homecoming game is one of my favorite games because it usually has the biggest crowd and the fans are roaring as kickoff starts. Then senior night comes all the seniors know that this game could be their last game at

There stood the final score 27-21, Vikings have done it, they are going to the Championship, again.Steelers stood quiet on the sideline while their opposing team were jumping up and down all across the field yelling and screaming and hugging each other in joy.Then you had my team, the now beaten Steelers who had just blew their Championship chance all because of me. I was only a sixth grader then and I was only playing in a little league,but felt terrible not in the mad way like an angry bull charging a fire red cape but disappointed like as if you had a chance to save the world and you decided to stay watch TV. As I was presented with a third place medal I wondered if I even deserved it had I not of fumbled the ball I would have a cheering team and a golden trophy in my hand but no, I had a bronze medal hanging from my neck.So from that day forth I decided I wasnt ever going to stop playing football and practicing football until my body couldn’t take it anymore.
