THE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME So after coming out with a win in the semi final game we went out to eat as a whole team and that's what we do as american culture. Also our championship game did not start for a couple hours later and also we got to go out to eat a lot because we are american and that's what we do as american culture. Some of my teammates names are named Juan Alonso, Jackson Williams, Nick Lancaster, Preston Harrison, Tristan Taylor, Connor Pennycook, Cole Person, Alex Tan, Jordan Stutzman, and Dj Berliner. So in warmups before the championship game our star player Juan Alonso got injured and did not play the championship game because he had rolled his ankle. So as we warmed up we had to put our backup shortstop in named Jackson …show more content…
So the first inning of the game our lead off hitter was up named Alex Tan he was up and he got beaned right in the chin with the ball and he was our star catcher and so he got subbed out and we had to put our really bad catcher in named Jordan stutzman. Anyway we scored one run the first inning and then we played defence. Our starting defence was pitcher was Cole Pearson and at first base was Preston Harrison and at second base was Connor Pennycook at shortstop with Jackson Williams and at 3rd base was THE Nik Lancaster and at left field was Tristin Taylor and at center field was LeBron James and right field was Dj Berliner. So before the game even started we got together as a team and got in a circle we took off our hats and we prayed together, we prayed for our injured player Juan so that he would feel better and we prayed for the other team and prayed for the umpires and prayed for the parents and prayed for a safe and healthy game. Then after we prayed and said “amen” we saw their team on one knee praying as well, there name was FCA Knights. On the back of their hats, there was a cross and on the back of ours, we had a Bible verse. Praying before the game is all …show more content…
The reason why they kept scoring runs on us is because they kept hitting it at the second baseman or up the middle. Our second baseman, Connor Pennycook, was inexperienced at the time, that game was the first time was his first time playing 2nd base. Anyway, our star catcher felt better and put our old catcher, Jordan (spud) Stutsman, back at 2nd base because Connor Pennycook kept making errors, so his dad and our coach, Chris Pennycook, took him out and put Spud there. When the ball was still getting hit at 2nd, Spud made easy errors. Anyway, the game is now tied. Nik (Big Papi) Lancaster was up in the last inning and had a leadoff double. Then Jackson Williams smacked a game winning walk off double, to win us the game! After the dinger and the game was over, we shook their hands because that’s what we do as culture. Their coach went up to our coach and asked if we’d pray with them around the mound, and we did that because that’s a big part of culture. Religion plays a part in culture to some. Before we prayed, we got 1st place t-shirts and a fat trophy and got together as a team while the parents took pictures, then prayed with the other team. After that, we all went to dinner to munch because we were hungry. Then
on day in early june gablin was sitting in the dugout of the san jose sunbirds stadium remembering last season. It was the eighteenth inning of the second game of the Western Division play-offs against the Santa Ana Lionettes and Gamblins idol. Carol Spanks was at the plate Spanks lined the ball to the left of third base a shot lit so hard that it pulled the glove off Gamblins hand and rolled onto the artificial turf Gamblin scrambled for the ball spun around and threw her idol out at first base. It was she thought the best play she ever made.
Going to a Carolina Panthers football game and it was great! I used sight, hearing, smelling, feeling, and tasting when I went. Out of all the NFL games I have been to, this was by far my favorite. There was so much to do when I went there.
What event brings a crowd to a mega sized event that roars louder than a concert? How this phenomena became one of the most popular sports that involves numerous amount of physicality? To answer both questions only requires two words.
In my 8 or so years of playing football I’ve often heard coaches liken the job of the linemen to that of a soldier fighting in a trench, pushing, attacking, and struggling for every inch of the battlefield that is the line of scrimmage. Of course, the job of a lineman is far less dramatic and glorious than that description makes it out to be, most of our job is just keeping the defense at bay so the quarterback and the rest of the backfield has time to get a play off. Unfortunately for us offensive linemen, the defense has a much larger bag of tricks when it comes to the actual clash, they can grab, pull, or simply spin by while the O-line is relegated mostly to pushing with shoulder and hand. This can make things difficult if, for instance
The citizens in the small town of Odessa, Texas live for high school football. Most of their attention and resources are poured into this extracurricular activity, resulting in numerous drawbacks. To discover more about this phenomenon, H. G. Bissinger incorporates himself into the Odessa lifestyle and comes to the conclusion that focusing this much energy on football greatly affects the students academically, physically, and mentally.

On my hunk of rusted metal long ago called a bike I rode up to the thing I once called home in the hot Louisiana sun. It was the Oak Grove football field. I slowly rolled up with my brakes creaking like the knee brace I wore, I came to a halt ready to start on my adventure once again. I strolled up to the field and everyone eyes traveled straight to me.
In stadiums, parks and fields all across America, many youth participate in a journey through defeat, heartbreak, hard work, and success. Practicing for hours, rain or shine, to be able to snag that game winning touchdown in the back of the endzone. Although football comes with many risks and dangers, I strongly believe that kids and teens should be allowed to play football because it promotes leadership, teamwork, and requires significant amounts of exercise and cardiovascular activity, and other contact sports are just as dangerous.
What happens on the soccer field is extraordinary. The cool, crisp air blowing across the long field. Then, the initial whistle goes off, Immediately players collide going after the leather ball.

Dribbling the leathery ball quickly up the field with sweat rolling down your face. The fans start to get excited.

The air is getting warmer, the flowers are blooming, the grass is green, but nothing is sweeter than seeing the greenest grass in the world on a baseball field, yes it is finally here. I don’t understand as I am walking out to the field for the first practice how most people do not see the beauty and poetry in the game of baseball. The greatest diamond I know of is the baseball field, the smell of fresh cut grass, the lines of the field being chalked, baseballs flying through the air, and the sheer joy of playing a beautiful game with the greatest of friends. The only problem was this, we were horrible. We won only two games the entire season and as we come to the final game I cannot believe this is

It was a warm September day, perfect for baseball. I had eagerly woken up, gotten dressed and set off for my first practice as a member of the Superfund Wanderers, a new team I had joined that year. As I walked onto the field, I knew this practice would be unlike any I had experienced before. The first person I met introduced himself as Matthias. He had long, blonde hair that fell past his shoulders and ill-fitting pants that seemed three sizes too small. The glove he used was cheap and plastic, better suited to a tee-ball player half his age. He didn’t even have baseball spikes on, instead opting for soccer cleats. Looking around the field, a dozen kids fit the same mold. They were passionately discussing the latest soccer scores, yelling
"Five six seven eight!" She called out one last time as she blew her whistle and squinted her eyes in the blazing hot sun of the still warm yet approaching Nebraska fall. The wind section was still a bit off, and she could still hear the newest members of the band struggling to keep up with the pitch and sudden pace as they practiced the school's fight song in the now empty student parking lot after school.
