I asked my mother if she could give me some money to buy a ticket to the MAC Championship so I could go see Western Michigan Football play. I asked for this because I have very little money in my bank account due to student loans and the cost of college. Surprisingly the overall response was excellent she was very nice and said of course who knows if they will be back again next year. The result was I received the money to buy a
A team in Concord, Calif., has had a win streak of 151 games. North Atlanta High School 's team can barely pull off three wins this season. The Spartans have had plenty of perfect seasons. North Atlanta closest time ever in the school’s history was to getting a perfect season was going 7-3 in 2010.The team from California doesn 't know the meaning of defeat. North Atlanta barely knows the feeling of winning.
Around thanksgiving time last year, my grandpa and grandma told my family that we would be going on a trip to the Bahamas. Even better was we were going to the Battle For Atlantis Basketball tournament. This year at the tournament the Wisconsin Badgers were playing. The Wisconsin Badgers are my favorite team. I brought along an autograph ball for the players to sign.
The time I almost got cut from the basketball team.the first day of tryouts I didn’t come because I didn’t have my physical at the time.but when I got it I was there and lots of people were and only fifteen could qualify. On the first day all we had to do was shoot and show our form. But we did do something a little fun you had to get a partner and perform some moves on him. So the coach said “go” me and my partner which was Robert.
A couple weeks ago I attended the Homecoming Basketball game against William Jessup. Funny story is that I had told my roommate about the basketball game and she also wanted to attend the game, so the day of the homecoming basketball game we went to eat at A-I’s cafeteria, since it is closest to the student Rec center and after we finished eating dinner and of course serving ourselves some ice cream we began to walk to the student REC center. I noticed that it was fairly empty and once we arrived the student REC center was closed. We stood there looking at eachother and I automatically checked my phone to make sure that the game was that day. I soon came to find out that the game was not that day, but rather the next day.
I can not remember a year where I was as excited for the Vikings season and then this goes and happens. Twenty minutes into practice on Tuesday Teddy Bridgewater took a snap from under center and as he was dropping back to pass he screamed in agony and went down. He suffered some sort of non contact knee injury. Everybody in the building could tell how serious the injury was by the reaction of the players, some cursed, some threw helmets, and some even prayed.
Deciding to attend Texas A&M University was both a hardship and immense, opportunity in my life. Coming from a close knit background, and possessing a very family oriented character, my decision to come to this incredible institution was one out of my comfort zone. If I was to be asked one year ago, If I could ever see myself standing on this marvelous campus, attending one of the top schools in the nation, I would have honestly responded, no. My counselors would have said no, my friends, my college advisor, my family. The answer would not have been yes, not because I wasn 't capable of meeting the standards to attend, but because there seemed more obstacles in my way than there was forces pushing me forward.
Nothing hurts more than being excluded. I learned this the hard way my sophomore year. This is a story about my high school lacrosse team. Most of my friends are on the team so we’ve become very close after playing together since the seventh grade. We play lacrosse in the backyard almost everytime we’re together.
It was October, 21st the Riverside High School Bulldogs Homecoming game. They were 8 and 1 and they needed this win to advance to the State Championship. All the pressure was on all star quarterback John Tortellini. After the last bell rang the team meet up in the football weight room so they could get a pregame workout in.
I don’t watch March Madness I don 't like basketball at all. I watch the first one a little because teachers said we could but otherwise I don 't care. I hear people say I have 99% on my bracket or like I got 10%. I never did a bracket but I might do it next year for fun.
When I was younger, my dad and I got season tickets to the Illini basketball season. We would go to every home game and away game if they were playing close. I would always look up to the Illini players and want to be just like them when I grew up. Every time I went to the game I would always go to the closest balcony to try and yell their names so they would look up at me.
The weekend I had field passes for the Penn State game was a once in a lifetime experience. I had so much fun with my grandparents and my cousins. I could not contain my excitement as we waited for our field passes. I was jittery as a man came up to us and told us to follow him to the field. People with metal detectors stopped us to check us out.
There was sweat on my face I didn’t know what to do. I was riding in a silver Ford F150 it was the first game of the season I was super nervous and I waited and waited to get to the field. Then like that we were there at bromfield industrial field I was so hyped but nervous I. Grabbed my baseball bag and rocketed towards the field. A couple of friends were there already so we got our arms loose and started our sprints man those things were so tiring. I went to the dugout to chill.
“Let 's go Ari, you got this!” Coach Chop -- head coach of Florida Flash (baseball team) -- yelled as Ari -- full name is Ari Soles -- stared down the pitcher. “Ping,” the bat screamed as the ball went soaring into left-center field. Everyone in the crowd and the dugout -- team 's bench area and is located in foul territory between home plate and either first or third base -- screamed to congratulate Ari. Although Ari never believes in himself, so he ran towards first base with an “that was just luck” look on his face.
Growing up I was always an active kid, I did ballet, jazz, tap, horseback riding, field hockey, and softball. At the ripe old age of eleven, my father gave me the non-traditional gift of a set of 10 pound dumbbells help increase my bat speed. It wasn’t until I was fourteen years old that I started to tag along with my dad to use the weight-room at the health club we belonged to. When I started out in the gym I would use the elliptical for 20 minutes (cardio was torture to me), and then I would move into the weight-room to use the machines with my dad's guidance. While I was in high school, I was fortunate enough to learn how to use the weight-room properly and fell in love with lifting.
