towards me for some reason. Knowing that kicking and blocking was not part of my capabilities, when the ball landed at my feet I did as the famous and inspirational rapper Ludacris once said, I moved and I got out of the way. During halftime of one game my dad had a fit, partially because I was not a boy but that is a different story. He told me ”you need to toughen up out there. Nice people finish last! Do you know why the Brazilians call soccer football? Because they know that this is a rough n’

I sat in my living room on a warm spring day and turned on the Detroit Tigers. My dad was next to me and as the game began, he turned up the volume. The announcers gave the lineup and mentioned that the players would be wearing the number 42. I thought I heard them wrong but sure enough, when the player took the field, they all had the number 42 on their backs. I turned to my dad and asked him why they were all wearing the same number and no name. He told me that every year, on April 15, every member

Indian Ball Game Lacrosse is an exciting and fast-paced sport with almost nonstop action from start to finish. The strategy is simple. Players move a ball down a field using sticks with nets on them.

There are professional, amateur, and school teams, and there are scholarships for those who play it in college. Lacrosse was invented by American Indians in the

It's easy to learn because you just roll the dice and pull out a card from your stack and with 15 red & 120 blue peg game pieces and hope you get something good out of the card and all of it is on a 10 by 10 board that is looking above the wall.

intimidating team, but I felt something would go wrong. As the game started, I immediately knew that this game was going to be close. I was subbed in, handing off the dirty, yellow scrimmage jersey. Our opponents were good, but we were better. I stood there, wind blowing around the little hairs that wouldn't make it into my ponytail, ready for my opponent. I knew I had one job, to defend my goal. I located the girl who would later change the game for me. She was slightly taller than me. She had dark brown

play sports at a young age, you fail, but do not realize it. I met many of my friends today through sharing a love for the game of basketball and softball.

I would sit in my room disassembling and reassembling electronics, spend countless hours in the garage constructing go karts, even draft and build jumps for skateboarding. Where other kids saw their toys and screens as mere distractions, I saw questions to ponder; what codes make the video game run? How do I make my bike go faster? How does this circuit work?

the semifinals. We had to play at the Wolves court for the game, which is in Plano, and I am as nervous as can be for the game. My team is joking around before the game, which is probably why when the game started we weren’t ready. I look back on it now and am angry with myself for how we played, but at the beginning the wolves were just the better team and it showed. We went down 10 to 0 before I think we even relieved that the game had started, but once we started to play everyone realized we
