I was in 3rd grade in Mrs. Bell’s class when the Packers were heading to the Super Bowl and I was more excited than anyone! I was a huge Packers fan and my teacher was a huge Lions fan. We always talked about sports to each other and we had a little bond that was really cool to me. For Christmas I got her a Lions coffee cup because it was funny and that’s how we were. The Super Bowl was the upcoming weekend and she was rooting against the Packers and I definitely thought they were going to win so we put a bet on it. If the Packers won, she had to buy me a candy bar and if they lost, I had to buy her one. I thought this was the coolest thing ever and bought her a chocolate bar like the week before because I was so excited. Eventually …show more content…

Nervous was a feeling running through my body but that’s what every game feels like for me. We were playing Manistique at home. It was still summer so it was super hot, around 80 degrees. Our starting running back got hurt in the scrimmage a week before this game so I was starting for us. I got to the dry and we did our pre game warmup and were ready for kickoff. On our first drive of the game I scored a touchdown and had about 30 rushing yards so I was off to a good start. On our ensuing drive, I got the handoff and was running down the field and got pushed to try and knock me down. I put my arm down to hold myself up and keep running and my body weight and force I had going down towards the ground was too much and I fell right on my arm. I stood up fast and sort of screamed and saw my arm was just about hanging there like a clean break and I quickly snapped it back into place. I rushed off the field and was looked at by the trainer. She put an aircast on my arm and told me to just wait it out and see how I felt at halftime. By then, I felt much worse and my parents brought me to the emergency room in all my equipment. I was seen by a doctor right away and got x-rayed. Yup, it was a clean break in both my bones in my left forearm. Now I was thinking surgery for sure. They tried putting me to sleep and pulling on my arm to readjust it so maybe surgery …show more content…

We both had not so hot seasons so far as we were both 2-3 and needed this win for hopes of making the playoffs. We were playing in Ishpeming, or as Coach J called it “The Playground”, so they had the upper hand even tho it was only a short drive from Negaunee. Kickoff was at 7 and we arrived between 5:30-6:00 to prepare. We did our usual pre game warmup that we do before every game. I was nervous, like the MOST nervous I have ever been for a game because this was my first varsity football game against our biggest rivals. After our warmup, we went into the locker room like every other game before. The captains came in a couple minutes later and said we were kicking off. Coach J got us jacked up and we went back onto the field for the game to start. I wasn’t on kickoff so I watched the first play of the game. We kicked off and stopped them in a good spot so our young and hopeful defense trotted out to the field. They had a senior quarterback and a huge running back who was really good and hard to take down. Ishpeming is a ground and pound team which means they like to run the ball almost every single play so we were prepared and knew what was coming. They still ran the ball right down our throats on the first drive picking up 5, 10, 15 yards on most of their runs and getting a touchdown for their big running back on the opening drive. We were down 6-0. The
