Personal Narrative: Friday Night Lights

Friday night lights is something that you can not overrate. It’s the thing that keeps you going, and the night that wakes you up every single morning.

When I was a little kid, friday night football was something that I was almost scared to be a part of. I was just a small little kid, and i’d see all of our football players walking to the shed. They were massive guys compared to me, just towering over me, and it kind of terrified me. I never thought i’d get to be able to be big like that. I mean, I was just a little kid who didn’t know anything about lifting a weight. I just thought, “how am I ever going to get that big?

But I didn’t, so I just had to keep pushing. Let’s get into the regular season now. I played on the sub-varsity team, which was freshman and sophomores combined. I was tossed around a lot during the year. Switching position on offense and defense. But overall, it was so much fun because we played so well, and got along while doing it. But when the season was over, it was time to move on. When we had our meeting for the upcoming season of football, our coach told us that we were going to be moving down to 2A football because our numbers were going to me so much lower, which also meant that the upcoming sophomores were going to have to play varsity
