I was excited for high school football. Unfortunately, about half way through the season our coach quit on us and we had to practice and play with the varsity team. That took away from a lot of our practice time, we never got in at practice or the games. We won one game my freshman year. I hardly played at all during my freshman season but I knew that it would get better and that we were only freshman. After freshman year I started actually putting work in to make myself better. I became more dedicated to what I was doing. During my sophomore season I started offense and defense on the junior varsity team. I had never really played a lot so when I started to get in and play it seemed like I fell in love with the game all over again. The JV team won three games that season which was the most I had ever won at

  • How Has Football Shaped Me

    Sadly, my family was going through financial struggles, forcing me out of the school zone I was destined to attend. When I discussed the situation wih the high school coaches they told me they would pick me up from my new house and take me to school every day; with the condition that I’d play football for them all throughout high school. Even though this was illegal I continued to go ahead and accept the offer. My first year of high school was so exciting that it went by in the blink of an eye. Sophomore year came and the clock ticked closer and closer to when everything would change. I started in varsity as a corner back but soon would have big shoes to fill as the team’s quarterback. Not only did this require skill and hard work but the ability and qualities of a leader as well. Ultimately, playing this position helped me acquire traits that would soon be necessary for success. That year was tough for us because the majority of the team consisted of inexperienced players, however the coaches knew I would be the one to lead the

    To say that football has been a big part of my life would be a gross understatement. I still remember when, in 2nd grade, I walked onto the field in my comically small gear and had my first practice. Now, senior year, the last game of my ten year career is over. Crushing defeat. Sedro-Woolley walloped our undersized team 42-6. After that game I cried. I cried not because we lost, but because football, for me, was over. Looking back objectively I should have been glad it was done, we were not what you would call a winning team. My senior year was the first time we had won more than a single game in years. But in that moment, and now, that is
