Because I was only in the sixth grade‚ my options for sports within the middle school were basketball‚ dance‚ or cheerleading. Luckily‚ I thought outside of the box and suggested hockey to my parents‚ even though my school did not have a team. A couple of my friends who played for the Mandan Hockey Club had helped me convince my parents to let me give it a try. The next week I was already

When moving from a colder climate to a warmer climate it takes a little time‚ clearly‚ for your blood to thin. 2012 brought on the move from mostly cold and humid Pennsylvania to the dry inferno

Today I am going to be talking about my 8th grade year when I had played basketball for the Dupree Tigers and how it had a big impact on me. This event had occurred last year and was a very fun experience for me which also brought me very close with everyone who was on the basketball team that year. Everyone who can’t play again this year will be missed and no one will be forgotten because of how much fun everyone had been on the team because there isn’t only just bragging rights‚ ability to dunk
