Personal Narrative: The Comeback
The Comeback Walking into the locker room about to get ready to go to our last football game of the season. I could smell the sweaty equipment from the kids who never take their pads home. The Hempfield Spartans 7th grade team would be ending their season 0-7 if we didn’t win today. As I was changing into my pads my friend mike walked in the room. I said “you ready for tonight”. “Heck yeah” replied Mike. I got on the bus looking for a seat I sat in the back with my friend Dillon who was practically the best kid on the team. Dillon said “you think we’re going to win today”. It’s hard to get your hopes up when you lost every game this season” I said. I sat there quietly listen to my music until we arrived

    From the moment we got off that bus at the McKinney Bulldogs field we didn’t know what to expect. Walking to the field’s one of the vehicles we passed had “Austin Here We Come”. That put some ice in my veins right away. Turning that corner to the view of the field was something I never will forget. San Rayburn was in the field dancing, playing, singing, joking, and thinking that they had already had us defeated because of what had happened in district. Yeah sure they were goofing off but they took it to an extreme what we had prepared ourselves for was nothing like that. Since they had never fully prepared themselves for us, and they thought they had us in the bag. We won our games against then 9-0, and 3-0. It was the first time in Blue Ridge High School history that girls’ softball team had ever advanced to the State tournament, it was incredible. We couldn’t believe that a team that had never been ranking made it this far; everyone had underestimated Blue Ridge softball but the team itself. I remember after the game as we got back on the bus after the victories over San Rayburn our coach proceeded to tell us he overheard one of the San Rayburn parents canceling their rooms in Austin and he implied “Book it back, where going to be needing them now”, which still plays as a mini clip in my head.…

    It was a Saturday morning, but it was no regular Saturday morning. It was football Saturday morning my dad was driving me to my football game. We got there and it was freezing. It was 46 degrees Fahrenheit and we started to do warm-ups and 20 minutes later the refs called us over. We put our helmets on the 50 and walked out to the middle of the field and we elect to differ. They get the ball and we kick off they drop the ball and they recover it. They are down right there they ran a reverse and score a TD. We get the ball and they motion me to the left side and ran a 27 pitch we score a TD “wooohooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Then we smash them on defense. then we get the ball back Tate runs a 17 run and scores a TD “yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”…

    It was a dreadful cold fall morning on November 7th and I was getting ready to board the bus for a state football game against the Becker Bulldogs. The police escorted us to Saint Cloud State under a lot of care. Even though I was a freshman and didn’t play much varsity, I was getting…

    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…

    he bell rang and we race to our cars. My team and I very happy knowing we had a chance of being champions. The whole school behind us cheering us on. From City University To Hamilton Middle School Chris, Aaron, Terrell, and myself smiling from cheek to cheek. We got to Hamilton and we gear up. I threw my catcher bag over my shoulder and called for the team to line up. Coach Avent ad Coach Blake started prayer. After they looked up and said “ We been preparing for this day all year.” Knowing everything the team had been through the last season before, no one would have ever thought the Hamilton Wildcats would be in the City Champion Game. No one would've ever through the Hamilton Wildcats would’ve had the season we had. Only losing one game…

    A little while later we were all waiting for in the locker room for the 7th graders to finish their game. Everyone was overflowing with energy and didn’t have a care in the world. Except for me, I had a very bad feeling about the game so I went and sat in the corner by myself. Eventually, everyone came over to me and so I pushed my apprehensive feeling aside and got hyped back up.…

    So we kinda knew we were gonna win, but we didn’t want to jinx it and lose. We had a fantastic game and won 14-1. I had a total 0 plays out in the outfield and that sure was a whole lot of fun. I went 3-4 when I was batting which is ok but I could have gone 4-4, Since I wasn’t seeing the ball out of the pitcher's hand I was late on the ball and was all in all, a bad game. Our season was doing really well and ended really poorly, It ended by us losing 9-1, We were not happy nor were we upset that we lost. but we understood we needed to get better. Whereas High school baseball is gonna be way better cause we don’t play the same teams we play easier teams. Which is nice because we will win much easier and not have any competition. The high school team consistently wins regionals which is cool and they have been to state a couple…

    It was my freshman year in high school, and I was extremely excited to start a new chapter in my life. Throughout middle school I was always playing sports, wether it was basketball, wrestling, or football I was playing it. A few of my friends and I decided to try out for the football team. There was four of my friends that wanted to join the team their names are Kyle, Andres, Alex, and Erik. When we got to the tryouts it was a huge difference from middle school football. There was close to 40 students trying out for this team, and three coaches whose names are Coach Cortez, Hill, and Bellecomo. My friends and I were amazed with all the bright new equipment, and the turf grass field that was in the middle of our own football stadium.…

    Ever since I was the Defensive Captain of the football team every little thing I did was noticed. With the coaches working in our school, we were constantly supervised and had certain privileges other students didn’t. Before every big game I wanted to relax and focus on the game ahead, but the entire school wanted to talk to you and ask questions about what you’re going to do. In a way I enjoyed this, the pressure to step up to the plate made me feel like I had a purpose for the school. I believed in myself and knew I was capable of meeting their expectations. Their satisfaction didn’t satisfy me in anyway but seeing my hard work and dedication pay off did. I cherished the moments when the announcer would scream my number on the field after a big play. These moments were immaculate in my eyes especially in front of the big crowds. One of the tragic incidents of my…

    I started to get that swelling feeling in my throat and my eyes started to water. The next batter steps into the box and the crowd is going absolutely nuts. Everyone knew we had this in the bag, we just to finish it. The next pitch was slow motion. My heart sank as I saw the ball hit the sweet spot of the bat. All the cheering, all the yelling faded into the background and in that moment all I could hear is my own heartbeat. Again, here came Carley saving the day once again. She snatched up the ball and lightly tossed it to first base. Before the ball even got into the glove I was sprinting towards the mound. I felt like my feet weren't touching the ground I was running so fast. It was a moment of pure bliss. We worked so hard for this moment and everything paid off. As we were hugging in the circle I realized this is it. This was the last time I would play with the 5 senior girls. The tears started to stream down my face as I looked at one of the seniors and she said in a way so meaningful “ You stepped up to the plate and I couldn't be more proud of you Mo”. Again, I start to reflect. Softball has brought me so much happiness and I will be forever grateful for the friends that I've made along the way. I wouldn't trade the 6:30 am practices, the team dinners or the practices in the blazing heat. That last inning I carry with me throughout my life. So when I look at the trophy that's displayed in Tahoma high school, that last inning runs through my head like a movie and it all comes…

    It was the fourth quarter of thee first freshman game of the season and we were down by eight. One moment they were all playing next moment there was a player down. One of the hardest things is putting relationships after jobs. I choked on this for a little while, I got over it. Running out on to the field, I felt a breeze as I reached the injured player. Because of the fact that we were students, we could only do so much. This job was now…

    The day started off well. Waking up at my usual time I rolled out of bed and got ready for the day. I had a long trip ahead of me but I didn’t want that to bring down my spirits. I was headed for Rapid City, South Dakota for a matchup against the number two football team in the state, the St. Thomas More Cavaliers. The Cavaliers had an impressive regular season, going undefeated and showing true blue pass offense, passing for more than 1500 yards in the regular season. We as Orioles were the underdogs as the seven seed. We…

    The day finally came for the big game against our rivals, the Vicenza Cougars. We were psyched and ready. We were a force to be reckoned with in our brand new red, white, and blue uniforms. I remember that I got to wear number twenty. I was so proud of my team. Since I wasn’t a starter I didn’t get to play in the first part of the game, but I cheered them on wildly from the sidelines. I sat there on the bench for what felt like forever and watched as the Saints walked all over the Cougars. It was getting close to the end of the game and we were…

    We were winning games by large margins and growing some strong team chemistry. Every game was just important as the other for us. This wasn’t completely true when it came time for our doubleheader away game at Cascade. Everyone on the team really wanted a sweep against them, as we didn’t really like the opposing team. Not only did we have a bit of a rivalry, but we wanted to remain undefeated. I was very tired riding down to the game, as it was early on a Saturday morning. Still, I was pumped to get out on the field. During warm ups, everyone was a little over-confident that we were the better team. We watched the other team warm up and named all their flaws. One my teammates said, “Look at their pitcher. He hardly throws the ball forty miles an hour. This is going to be easy.” At this field there was a big black wall over left field. Another player on my team said, “I’m gonna hit top black wall by the looks of this pitcher.” My teammates weren’t wrong to think that they could hit the ball well on this guy. As the first game began, we picked up six runs in the first inning. This was topped off by us having our best pitcher on the mound, Caleb Blair. Blair threw a shutout, giving up zero runs all game. Our offense was clicking the the whole time, and we won ten to zero when it was final. Everyone on the team was expecting the same result in the next game. We were confident that we could easily get the upper hand, as we had another one of aces on the mound. This changed quickly though, as Cascade came out with a new sense of…
