  • Varsity Girls Soccer (Worland vs. Powell)

    1557 Words  | 4 Pages

    What seemed to be a very long and difficult game, the Worland High School Varsity Girls come through to winning the game against Powell. Still remaining number one in the 3A division in the state of Wyoming, Worland has put up a fight regarding their loss against Lander last year at state soccer in Jackson, Wyoming. Worland’s very first game of the season this year in 2014 was against Jackson. The defending state champions were demolished by the Warriors, and Jackson also did not score a single goal. Majority of the girls soccer players this year are very young, only three seniors are on the team this year. As observed on April 4, 2014, the Warriors went against a stronger team in their division, Powell. Not only does Powell have bigger, stronger, and faster girls, but they also started worrying the Warrior crowd after they had put two shots into the goal of the goal keeper. With the score 2-2 it became more and more intense in the crowd. Only about 10 minutes were left in the game, and like last year at state Worland did not want to go into overtime because if there was no goal after overtime match it would lead into penalty kicks. As horrifying as it is to have that kind of pressure within about 6 minutes left of the game a goal was finally made for the Warriors! The score was now 3-2, and Powell was not happy. As the head coach from Powell was jumping up and down saying that they have this game motivated his girls. However, Worland put up a fight and as close as it was Worland finishes off the game with a win. An evaluation of the game was indeed a struggle to write on; however, Anna Hepp will give me information from her perspective of the game along with the another senior, Yesie Herrera.

Defense has always been my go to position and this year I’m playing right back. The air around us is cold, considering we aren’t quite in spring yet.

Hannah boots the ball up the long green field and we’re all hopeful. West is playing hard; aggressive is their style. They win possession. Back

    My role was to watch the teens, transport them from location to location and make sure they were having a good time. Before going to the camp I was a bit nervous of how the weekend was going to go. I was unsure of the capabilities of the teens. The camp started Friday afternoon but I did not start my hours until Saturday afternoon. I was first to go to the Lighthouse and get a Lighthouse vehicle. Then from there I met the students at the Marshall High School gym. When I arrived the staff, and the teens and their families were setting up a game called goal ball. Goal ball is a game where there is a ball that has bells in it, that is rolled across the gym floor into the opponents goal. The players have to then locate the ball by listening for it, and grabbing it making sure it doesn’t go into their goal. Then they roll it back towards the other team’s goal. I have never seen this game played, but the teens were having a fun time with it. Also, some of the parents and siblings played the game with the teens, who have a vision loss. Those who did not have a vision impairment received blinding goggles, so everyone had equal site abilities. I was surprise that some of the students also wore the goggles because they could still see a great deal. During the game, I supervised making sure no one was getting hurt and retrieving the

    When I hear the word “Football,” I think about the violence, the adrenaline when you watch all those players either getting tackled, or getting a touchdown for their team, but I never came to think about it affecting my future, making this huge decision over lettering my son or daughter play football. If I were to ever have any children, I believe that I would let them play, but knowing that being a mother means caring for your son or daughter's health, and knowing if they are safe is a priority, by allowing my son or daughter to play “America's Obsession,” not only am I preventing them from gaining any skills out of the sport, but I am damaging something that could have been his/her future, and just maybe not ever seeing them again.
