For The Love of the Game
Big lights hit our eyes as we exit through the tunnel to enter the football field. Running out we hear the crowd yelling. Although I played this game a thousand time my shoulder pads always feel tight when my nerves get the best of me; therefore, it lets me know I’m game ready. I start to feel butterfly’s in my stomach while I head on to the football field. Although I work all summer long for this exact moment as a freshman to be a captain and a starter on the varsity squad. I been to several of football campus around the State of Texas to build up my confidence to be an exceptional football player. As I stand there waiting impatiently for the football to be kicked I can feel my heart hammering out my chest.

    The whole team crowds in the helmet as Coach Mullins begins his speech for us. We can all hear the loud music, our fans, and we can also hear the victory whistle, for when we score a touchdown. We all begin to get more and more ready to run out of the helmet, when the smoke begins to roll out of the front of the helmet. We all know it is almost time to start the game. We have all been waiting for this moment all year, all the blood, sweat, and tears that we have all gave to just be in this moment all comes to mind. All the weights and running as prepared us for this very…

    In the distance, a roar of the opposing crowd commenced as the band began to shout their fight song. The white jerseys swarmed together to celebrate, while faint shadows walked up the home stands and to their cars in disappointment. The pit in my stomach only got bigger as I thought about all that I had given this game whether it was the grueling track workouts every summer, the demanding practices, or the strenuous nine months of rehab I went through just to strap up my helmet again. It was at this moment - as the salty taste of my sweat and tears dripped into my mouth - that I knew how much I loved this game and how much I would miss everything about…

    I wake up with a different feeling in my stomach knowing that its game day. Now I'm not talking about college game day, or even NFL Sundays. I’m talking about U of D Jesuit High School game day. Whether it is basketball, football, hockey, soccer, or lacrosse, all I can think about, from the moment I wake up, is leading the best student section in the state later that day. Ever since I was a 7th grader, I had always dreamed of being a section leader. When my dream finally came true senior year, I was ecstatic. Being a section leader was a key ingredient for what was going to be an amazing senior year. I love being a section leader because every time I’m out there, I know that there is a 7th grader, at the top row of the section, waiting…

    It all started at ninth street with some friends of mine John and I started recruiting some people to come play football with us. I honestly didn’t know I had a pretty decent arm. I originally was going to start practicing to play wide receiver instead of quarterback. At the time Odell Beckham Jr. ( wide receiver for the New York Giants ) was extremely explosive and dynamic on offense. Seeing him blow up on offense made me want to try out for wide receiver. But somehow John convinced me to play quarterback.…

    It was a cold and dreery day in the plains of South Dakota, the wind whipping across the landscape. Today was no ordinary day for me though, for I was headed for my biggest game of my high school football career. I am a Lennox Oriole tried and true and am proud to strap up my pads with the Lennox name across my chest. This day, everything felt different for me. I felt as though the weather wasn’t going to ruin my day. The night before this day I couldn’t sleep, for I was too nervous as to what was going to come.…
