On September sixteenth at two o’clock in the afternoon, the Trojans went against Converse in a game of volleyball in the Korengay arena in Mount Olive. It started off a little rough for us but we picked it up later on. The game ended at 3:30 with the university of Mount Olive being victorious once again. The high school I went to was very small and did not have any sports so it was very interesting to see and remember how into sports people got. Though there was not a very large turnout for this game, the support for our home team was strong. People were cheering in support of our team especially when we tied up or got close to twenty-five points. I did think I would see more people there, but maybe that was just because it was earlier on
What is cultural identity? I haven't heard about this concept till my tenth grade English Language Arts class. I thought about this question throughout the months. Then I asked myself what represents my cultural identity? It took awhile for me to figure it out, but it came to me, SPORTS!
Generally, the overall atmosphere of the Coliseum is upbeat and energetic but the atmosphere can change depending on how well the team is playing and the types of calls made by the referees. I chose the Coliseum as a location because there are mass amounts of people, generally a positive atmosphere and it is an excellent way to observe people acting naturally amongst their family and friends. However, this was an incredibly close game that went into double overtime so emotions were on high as fans anxiously awaited a Mountaineer victory. When I attend games at the Coliseum, I’m seated in the upper student section that is filled with both Gen Z and Gen Y students and an occasional Gen X fan. At this week’s game
The first day of practice was a day to remember because all the players had amazing new pads and brand new white and black nikes, they were fresh smelling spikes. The air being very humid. The team was working all morning from 7-11. Many drills were being ran when the coach was paying attention to the the offense all morning. Practice was long with many whistles and explanations on the first day.
“You two, get the ball down the pool and take a shot, just make sure it’s inbounds, don’t worry if you miss the goal, Kenzie will get the rebound.” My coach has barked these orders on numerous occasions throughout the year and it has never failed to give me a little thrill inside. As an athlete that tends to go unnoticed, getting acknowledgement in such an offhand way is pretty exciting. It shows me I have a place on the team, a job that my team depends on me to do. Water polo is a very difficult sport.
It was just amazing feeling to be there. Music was playing, fans were screaming, and it was just loud. The lighting was very bright then the usual rinks in America that I played for the other teams. And after I see this, I promised myself that I would never forget this game and the
Conversations about the Bettendorf vs North Scott basketball game, like the one Bryce and I had, were debated, discussed and argued ever since the high school basketball season had started. The vaunted Bettendorf
The buzzer going off, the crowd cheering, for the first time in school history, Trinty Clinton Township are state chapions. That team made history, acheiving far more than what any spartan was thought possible, but this team accomplished far more than a state championship. There has been Trinity greats that have made a mark in the Trinity basketball program history. I knew, this being my last year at trinity, that I had had mighty big shoes to fill if I also wanted to make a perminet mark at trinity.

You can feel the roar of the crowd as the team enters the field. It was amazing how you could actually feel the noise in your feet as everyone was yelling. People 's eyes were glued to the field whenever something big happened and when a bad call was made everyone wanted to make sure that their opinion was heard no matter
So it's amazing playing here. The fans, they're very energetic and they cheer for their team. It's amazing to see as a player, to have fans that care about the game so much. It's an amazing sports town and they have a great team to cheer
Football Cheer and Basketball Cheer The crowd is screaming, sweat is dripping, and the cheerleaders are cheering. All of which happen at both football and basketball games. The past four years I have been a cheerleader for both sports.
The Maui High Sabers football team must have been gaining a lot of knowledge and skill. It has been 13 years since the Maui High Sabers had defeated the Baldwin High Bears in football. Thirteen seasons, the Maui High Sabers football team had lived in the shadow of their crosstown rivals, the Baldwin High Bears. The Sabers were only known for our academics, school pride, aloha to
In school ball it’s mostly just fun and games but if “the games” have a more important meaning, than a higher level of basketball is something to think about. For a more competitive atmosphere, AAU basketball would be the way to go rather than school ball because of the players, overall atmosphere, and the practices. When assigned to defend one specific player I know that it’s one of the more important and better girls on the team. But how does coach know who for me to guard before the games even start? Simple.
Putting the fun back into physical activity for children will do wonders to foster PA. You don’t see children playing in neighborhoods anymore. A constructive approach to developing outdoor free play is, in my opinion, the cornerstone of developing a love of doing, moving, and being physically active. Many children don’t enjoy the harshness of competitive sport (I was one of them) but do enjoy being out and about doing things. As a child play that involved running, cycling, swimming, and skating were all the things that I truly loved.
There was not a season where we lost against them and today certainly would not be that day. Class finished and the clock read 3, our game started at 5:30. The air felt with tense emotion and quietness filled the room. We all gathered up, had a briefing moment, and then headed out to the court.
Curling is a very cold, unpopular sport that I have known since I was four years old, when my parents started a curling club. Now, I am not talking about a curling iron that makes your hair look nice. I am talking about the sport of curling that is played on ice with rocks and brooms. To me, curling does not seem like an odd, unknown sport. Yet within the world of sports, it is not very common, but generally people have heard of it because of the Winter Olympics.
