Personal Narrative: DASC Rivalry

Pass, Dribble, Shoot, Score. You see the thrilled crowd cheering? That is because the Tempo Cyclones just won the DASC tourney go be able to compete for the state championship. Then the road to the championship just started. The road to glory started in Pierre, South Dakota. Where Berent, Cael, Trevor, Xavier, and I drove up to play for the state cup. The rest of the team was with their parents but we decided to carpool to save money. We were all joking around until we figured out that we were going to play the older tempo team, Tempo Blaze. At first, we thought that this would be a sweep, that we would win the whole tournament without worrying, but know we have to play the team that has never lost this year and we have never beaten for as

It was easy, we had won 4-1. It was a sweep, I scored a goal, and then tyler scored 3. Our next opponent was Watertown. Everytime we play them it is like a WWE fighting match. I don’t even think people care for the ball, they want to hit someone as hard as they can. The dreadful sweat, the rat smell on your body it is all worth it when you play Watertown. We were playing like crap, I don’t think any of us were doing our best. It was 2-3 we lost. Then, it was time to see if we have to play Tempo Blaze.

We are going to have to play Tempo Blaze. As soon as we got to the fields and starting to warm up we were all scared. They are all bigger, stronger, taller, and faster. They are in 7th grade, but 2 of them play Varsity for Tea High School. When the whistle blows, they come out like a dog that needs to go to the bathroom when it hasn’t for the last 2 days, very fast and hard. In the first 3 minutes our goalie as blocked 3 shots and they hit the crossbar once. At halftime I don’t know how, but we were still tied 0-0. I don’t even think that we shot the ball once the entire half. It was all

It was easy, the biggest thing we got out of this tournament is that we can beat the Blaze. The way home was fun, we were playing our on phones, eating ice cream, hanging out. It was a blast. This is one of the best memories I have ever had in my life. Just because you think you will fail, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it. Face your fears, don’t run away from them. Now we know that the we are able to beat the Tempo
