The game started brightly, we attack, they attack back, but this wasn't just a normal game. This was a playoff match against our arch rival Riverbank High, in what was a repeat of last years finals. So far so good I was thinking to myself as I was supped off for the first time in the quarter, we were up by four points going into to the second half. All of the sudden they went on a scoring run and our defense completely gave out, in just the two minutes before the half the score was 62- 55. I was thinking to myself is this going to be like last year, were we choked in the final minutes. The start of the second half started brightly for us, as we came to life with fast brakes and counterattacks. I couldn't believe were we

    Now it's time for tip-off. Blazers are leading at the end of the 1st quarter 31-21. I figured the Cavs would be winning. Starting the second the Cavs went on a run and went up 49-38 but Damian Lillard had 31 points and 5 assists. Now my dad and I go throw away the devoured popcorn and find are seats again. Starting the third they went back and forth with baskets but the Trail blazers finally managed to tie it going into the fourth 78-78. Starting the fourth Damian Lillard makes a off-balance three and the whole crowd erupts. We kept that momentum and won 111-97. Damian Lillard had 51 points and 10 assists. It was crazy. Afterwards my dad and I were walking back to the car and saw Damian Lillard. I had him sign my jersey it was awesome. I told him thank you. It was sad to have to go home. Not only leaving the awesome game but it will take…

    It wasn’t until late in the second period another goal was scored. Again, Cholowski assisted but this time Blake Winiecki stifled UMD perfectly placing the puck through Miska’s pads, putting the Huskies up 3-1. Next after peppering Driscoll, Dominic Toninato finally smashed the puck in with only 83 seconds left in period number two supplying UMD their second goal. Halfway through the third a crucial part of the game UMD defenseman Carson Soucy dashed his way down the ice on a breakaway letting go a ripper that shocked St Cloud State tying the 3-3. Then with only 5 minutes remaining forward Parker Mackay completed the stunning comeback by scoring UMD’s 4th goal of the game. SCSU made a majestic effort but came up short when after the Huskies pulled their goalie Carson Soucy swiped the puck in the empty net sealing the game with a Bulldogs 5-3 win. As legendary coach Herb Brooks stated “gentleman the legs feed the wolf” meaning any team can win the first two periods but it really comes down to which team is better conditioned in the third period. The team who is will 9 times out of 10 win the…

    When Sunday came I could’ve been the most nervous person on the planet. Knowing I had a lot of pressure on my shoulders made it even worse. We all were so nervous. We all had butterflies and knots in our stomachs. When the time came to do the ‘walk-out’ that’s when it became apparent to everyone that I was very nervous. I could hear my heart ringing in my ears. It sounded like a very loud instrumental song played out loud. My heartbeat got faster and faster every minute closer to the game. I began to hyperventilate because of my nervousness. I felt my stomach drop when I heard the final whistle for us to come onto the field to start play.…

    As the referee’s whistle sounded, the game started with a light touch to the ball by the striker to the player close-in and then the long pass to the defender at the back started the battle of self-control, discipline, control and will-power. The first ten minutes seemed like the passing practice for both teams. Possession gained and lost was the banner of the first ten minutes. But every pass by the players was being wildly cheered by the crowd. At the end of the twentieth minute the crowd went down on…
