The High School Football Games

It was my senior year of high school football and all I could do was sit on the bench with an injury. It was so frustrating because all I wanted to do was be on the field playing with my brothers like I have since freshman year. I was just so happy to be on the field on those Friday nights and just get to play the game made me so happy when I first started playing. Until I got a big head and started thinking about myself and what I was going do that game or how many touchdowns I was going to score that game. I stopped thinking about the team because of my success. I think this might be a lesson I needed to learn and if I did not, I would have had a big head my whole senior year and never would have saw the real reasons why I loved playing

It all begins with a jolt to the head. I was running down the fresh cut green grass my first year of high school football during a kickoff practice. My job was to run as fast as I could toward the player with the football and avoid all other athletes trying to block me. All of a sudden, I realized I was on the ground and had no idea what happened. Later, I discovered I received a rotational accelerated blow to my brain. A rotational accelerated impact happens when an athlete receives “a hit that was slightly off the middle of his forehead or from the side” of the athletes head, “causing his brain to rotate and hit the skull” (McClafferty 38). While on the sidelines, the high school trainers evaluated me and ran me through a concussion test. Due to the evidence, the trainers told me that I had a concussion and I could not return to play until the trainers cleared me of my concussion. Since I was not a starter at the time, it was not a big deal on the field. Off the field, the concussion damaged me at the age of 14. My grades decreased dramatically, my emotions would go from calm to angry in a second. I do not remember a lot about my freshmen year of high school, but to this day I believe concussions have unknown risks and dangers. That is why I interviewed the head trainer at Missouri Western University. Blaze Kriley received his Bachelor Degree of Science and Master Degree in Physical Education with a focus in Athletic Training from Emporia State. After receiving his degree,

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

SMU became the University of the death penalty because they were cheating and using money to get top high school football athletes. That is against the rules of the NCAA for a short period of time they have gotten away with it but finally got caught when former football players came out and speak on the matter to the media. Which they made it public and the NCAA had to take charge and punish SMU for their actions. Which lead to the death penalty and for future football athletes they had to suffer from the death penalty. Overall, the players did not have to take the money but most did and it cost scholarships, being ban from bowl games, and no home games in 1987.

The irony of the whole situation is that you cannot ever forget the past you just really learn how to deal with it. You learn what was then is not what is now and you learned to move on with life know that from time to time you will have to deal with flashbacks of the past. “In my head my life was normal,” (126). But in his reality he knew there was something wrong.

Proper traing and proper equipment is very important in football and this report will be on the history of football and equpment you should wear.Football is a very physical sport, and it’s difficult to imagine this game being played with no equipment. Even while wearing equipment, playing this game has resulted in many injuries. But over the years the game of football has become more safe. In fact, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission 418,260 football injuries were treated in emergency rooms in 2006.

On the 24th of April 2016, I had just left Lake Hamilton School with two of my long time friends. We had just had a ceremony, and I had accepted a metal for completing the medical professions course, both level 1 and 2, throughout my junior and senior year. We had decided to take the Sunshine way home instead of the bypass. As I was driving down a straight stretch on sunshine I began to speed. Before I realized it a cop had passed me going the opposite direction. He then turned around and proceeded to pull me over. Once he had gotten onto me for driving so carelessly and not taking what could have happened into consideration, he then proceeded to tell me he was going to tow my car for such actions and asked if I had anything he needed to know

Football, some would say, is America’s new favorite pastime. It’s enjoyed by adults and children alike. Many kids grow up playing the sport. Starting from the peewee level and progressing until they reach the high school level. Sometimes, if they’re good enough, maybe even farther. However, high school football is where players really take strides to become better at the game. As with any sport, there are injuries. Yet, there is one injury in particular that has some petitioning for significant change to the sport, even to the point of banning it. That injury is concussions.

It was a foggy day around my neighborhood so I thought it wasn’t a good idea to go out.The paper boy threw a newspaper in front of my house so I went out to get it.I see some white boys in a truck in the distance they have something in there hand, they get closer and I see they have rocks in their hand I run home while they were bombarding me with rocks.I made home and I'm bleeding from my head, I clean myself up and I see it left a gash on my head.I went downstairs and heard the phone ring up stairs I pick up the phone and find out that I have been accepted in an all white school, the first thing I hope for is that those white boys are not at that school to.

Additionally, the games were segregated with the white reserved section having the best seats in the stadium. The tradition eventually ended in the mid-1960s when the schools became a part of the University Interscholastic League (UIL), which meant that the season ended before Thanksgiving. The rivalry was never the same after the end of this beloved tradition; however, in recent years there have been attempts to reignite the passion within the rivalry with the help of Nike, the athletic brand, who recently released a video on Twitter that showcased the Yates and Wheatley High School football teams and how impactful football is on both schools in their recovery from Hurricane Harvey. Although the rivalry is not as potent as it once

All I had on my mind was that my little brother was falsely accused of vandalism. When I woke up and went to school the following morning, I immediately got called to the office. There I found Branden, Bryson, and Jack. They are football players that cause a lot of trouble . As soon as I walked in, Jack said; “Jake did it and you know it.” Me, knowing this wasn’t true, raised my voice and replied, “You’re a liar and don’t be accusing my brother of something you didn’t know he did! You and your friends probably did it!” At that point, the principal and resource officer pulled the three boys into the office. Soon after, another officer walked in the door. “Emiley, come with me please.” he said. Once we walked into his office, he had the tapes pulled up from that Friday night. “Which one is Jake?” he asked. I replied, “Jake isn’t in it.” While watching the tapes, I saw a blonde haired girl, she reminded me of Anna. I asked the officer, “Who’s that girl?” and he replied “I can’t tell you, is there any reason your brother might’ve done this? Vandalism may be an act of revenge, a way of expressing a political opinion, or a means of intimidation.” At this point, I was so annoyed I got up and walked out. As I left, I walked past the football players as they snickered and laughed. While I was walking back to class, my phone vibrated. My mom texted me saying, Your dad and I are on our way to

High school sports have been like a tradition. Many people enjoy it due to the fact that people with interests in sports have a chance to get their hobby as a career. It also adds some miscellaneous benefits. For instance, the article “What in the Name of High School Football” states that, “For example, a multi-year study conducted in Michigan has shown that children who participate in sports have increased educational aspirations, closer ties to school and increased occupational aspirations in youth.” With all those benefits, high school sports appear with a cost. Expanding just this department ignores the further important academics, the majority of sports players boast a shortage on time, and the injury rate of sports can be extreme.

High school football began in the late nineteenth century along side many college football teams. Practices became apparent with multiple pep rallies, cross-town and county rivals, mascots, marching bands, and homecomings. High school football is considered to be the first tier of football, prior to collegiate and professional play if a player is good enough. Over the years, high school football has gained coverage by broadcast media and games can be featured on regional channels. Overall, high school football is very prominent in many cities and towns across the United States, but it is especially affluential in areas of the United States such as the state of Texas.

I was a freshman in high school and I was fourteen years old. On October 14th, 2016, it was a “wear pink” day at my school for Breast Cancer Awareness. So I wore a pink T-shirt. Later at lunch in the lunchline, I happened to stand by Jadon Wulff. And we were talking about a rather weird topic. We were talking about spanish numbers which was rather strange considering I got back from Spanish. Later that day, there was a football game at home. I still got to watch it but there was a problem. I was in band

Years have passed, my teenage years, even up until present, as an adult, the past seems to creep up from deep inside my soul to the surface on every January and the reflection of that memory makes my heart ache. The questions of why run through
