St. Jeff's School: A Short Story

One day, on the Bell School playground, as we usually did, gathered by the small, new blue bench with holes like an air vent in it, selecting teams. Then, Seth stood up on the bench waving his hands and shouting in that annoying, shrill voice. “Everyone listen up, listen up!” When the murmur

Russ was a standout basketball player who seemed to lose his touch after his parents were brutally murdered. He was a top recruit who lost his desire to play just before his senior year. Coach was close with Russ’ grandparents and felt that Finley would help him find his love for basketball again. Finley was preparing for his senior season as well, where he hoped to lead the team to a state championship. It was finally his turn to take the starting point guard position and run with it. However, he would later realize that it would not be an easy job to win.

Throughout the film we, see both the coach, individual players, and the team as a whole face numerous psychological obstacles which they overcome to reach the final. The film is based highly around racism and racial divides within basketball. Throughout the film we can see a constant battle with the idea of Perception, and how both player and overcome this. In order to form the 1966 championship winning team,

After he got done the teacher graded them and he got a 100%. He was really suprised and happy he thought he was going to fail the test because he did not study. So as the day went pass after school they had basketball practice. The only thing they were is working on there plays and doing shooting drills. They had a game coming up and Shawn is ready to play.

Tidewater Titans baseball team was at its highest peak and we had been unstoppable. Coach Derrick, Coach Tony, Coach Perry, and Coach Darren had all led the team to multiple championships that year. Ever since the beginning, there had always been a problem with Coach Derrick. He had always thought his kid, Grayson was better than the rest. Grayson had taken my position at shortstop in my batting position and the line up. I was left to second base the second less likely place the ball could get hit too.

The score is highlighted with the winning team announced first. “Westby 7. Sparta….nothing” ended a recent game. The teams are congratulated and a run-down of statistics is reviewed. Roger gives the total runs, hits, and errors for both teams followed by both team’s updated record. “We’ll see you back here on Friday when the Norseman take on Aquinas at 5p.m.” This is his somewhat insistent invitation back to the park for another ball game. As the fans and players gather their belongings, Roger recaps local announcements, including what is still for sale in the food stand, and to not forget to buy a ticket for the Legion Calendar Raffle. Music fills the park once more as the booth is locked down. Only a few people are left at the field when Roger finally puts his foot to the pedal and leaves the park, until next

Boone and his family face horrible experiences when moving to Alexandria. When moving to the neighborhood, many neighbors were so upset but many were also happy that he didn’t back down. He was offered the head coach position but turned it down because he felt it would be incredibly disrespectful to Coach Yoast. Boone & Yoast agreed to make the relationship work. The African American students meet with Coach Boone in the gym, the meeting turns into a disaster when Coach Yoast and the white students arrive and disturb the meeting. Gerry Bertier was one of the students among the crowd of white students to interrupt. “I’m Gerry Bertier. I’m the only All-America you got on this team. If you want us to play for you, you reserve over half the positions …we don’t need any of your people on defense we’re already set.” said by Gary Bertier to Coach Boone. Boone makes it clear that all players will be on the team regardless of the color of their skin.

Then Casey went back and made one scornful look and the audience was quiet again. Then his face grew cold and his so called “muscles” were straining. The whole population of the stadium knew that Casey would not let that ball pass by again. Casey was no longer sneering, he had his teeth clenched in absolute hate. He wanted the pitcher dead, or for him to get a home run and save his team. He signaled one last time to the pitcher and the pitcher threw the ball. The air was still until he hit the air was shattered by his blow. Casey had missed the

Coach jogs back from the opposing dugout, “Alright, Caleb, you’re now a member of the Orange Crush, and Lydia is a part of the

The third quarter ends and the score is still a close one. Berea has 73 and Walhall has 69. As the bulldogs get into their huddle Katie and Jay make eye contact. Katie felt like it was love at first sight,but I’m not so sure Jay was thinking the same thing. As they get out of the huddle Jay tells Katie to “hml” which means (Hit My Line). That made Katie blush so much. Jay reminds himself that he needs to stay focused on the game. He can’t lose the game and let not only his teammates down,but also everybody in the whole town down. Then everyone would call him Choke Book. The fourth quarter is soon to

The File Fliers game was ended successfully during Mrs. Broks’s class. The team Monogamy’s legendary pitcher Dylan Lahaise won the game for his team.

Second, his team was mostly made of twelve year old girls who never played basketball before. They were the type to study bugs or become a doctor. It would seem as if they wouldn’t stand a chance to win. But he was honest with the team about their shortcomings and reevaluated their weaknesses. Surprisingly, they ended up at the

"Lemme borrow some money for some gummies, please?," said Lewis, his clear voice breaking through Sylvester 's thoughts about the football tryouts. Being a severely demanding football coach, Mr. Tyler forced any veterans athletes interested in being the football team to undergo the tryouts as if they were the freshman. It was one of many methods to weed out those who hadn 't been training during the summer, and while Sylvester had no problems with it, no one has told him when the tryouts were going to be held, and not even a hair belonging to Coach Tyler has shown itself.

"Yeah, right!" said Coach half laughing. "Let's just continue to shoot around until the clock is running, OK girls." So I grabbed a ball out of the steel cage in the corner of the gym and started to fling it towards the hoop. "Jaclyn, would you come here for a minute?" asked Coach Moore in a serious tone.
