In February 16, 2011 it was Barangay Bato, festival in Philippines. Every year we do this in our town to show that we love our place. In the afternoon of that day the event starts like sack racing, basketball game, breaking the pot ,and there 's other event that i forgot its name. Every event I joined, I started with sack race, it 's a team race as the referee blow his whistle, the 1st person in my group is pretty fast, he jumped forward and kept doing it until he get to the finish line, and then there 's me as soon as my first teammate finished his role it was my turn I hurriedly put on the sack and keep jumping rapidly through the race, when I was halfway from finish line. My opponent started his pace, he 's a fast jumper and he beats me so the game continues and in the end we lost. Then the next event that I joined is basketball. My favorite sport, when the game starts I was a starter my team back then is good we beat the crap out of our opponent or we devoured them or we beat them. The only problem in that event was that our opponent was mad and tried to hurt us after the event luckily their madness to us through the game is fading away. And the last event that I joined is breaking the pot me and my brother joined this event, I was the first so they block my eyes with a small towel and spin 10 times and when I walked I don 't know my direction anymore, I step 5 times and when after that step I just swing the bat and BOOM! I missed And then my big brother joined he
“Why can’t we get into our freaking offense!?” This is all I really remember from Coach McKendrick at halftime last year against Niles North in what was a tough night for our basketball team. Prior to this, we beat New Trier at home and then went on the road and beat the pre-season unanimous vote to win conference, Highland Park, in our first conference game. Before the New Trier game, our game plan was simple: we were smaller, but faster, so we were going to run the court and make this is a fast pace game. We executed our gameplan, and we won.
One that is a favorite of many is the mud festival and the “festival de el mal humor” the festival of the bad humor. If one is planning to attend the mud festival get ready to get dirty! The event takes place in fields that are wet until it becomes an extremely muddy. They then proceed to allow large 4x4 trucks and motorcycles to enter the mud getting everyone and everything around them completely covered in mud. They also have mud races with obstacle courses, were the winning teams get a price, not only does this event make the people work together as a team, but all the funds raised from this event go to a charity that helps foster children in the home town.
Basketball, it's a sport everyone appreciates, especially when you're playing with people you enjoy being around. I enjoy being around Alex, Luke, and Parker. Our team name is AALP Jam, as in the film Space Jam. We’ve been playing together for about 2 years now and this summer was very fun, perhaps even more fun than last summer. We played in a 3v3 in Lewiston last summer, the four of us.
Hundreds of people in the crowd all chanted “Starlites! Starlites!” the music pounded in our ears. What made us the most nervous, however, were the other teams, from all over the country, their eyes burning into us, watching our every move. Many of the teams were composed of girls from different racial ethnic backgrounds.
A football flies through the air with the velocity and height of a throw from Peyton Manning and finds its way into the ungainly hands of a four year old, who inevitably drops it. Upset, I pick up the ball again and try to throw it back to my brother. He would always say to me “Andrew, Keep your eyes on the prize and catch this ball”. Although it seemed I would never catch the ball, he never took it easy on me. This repeated process happens over and over again.
When I was 12 years old, I made it onto a cheerleading worlds team. Essentially, if my team got a bid, we would get to go to the Cheerleading Worlds competition at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Disney World. I am a part of the competitive cheer community along with 3.3 million other athletes in the U.S. alone. My teammates and I were ecstatic and could not wait for this moment to compete. Our team name was the Cheer Eclipse Comets.
The worst part was knowing that I was on the cusp of almost being there. I still believe that it came down to me and another player. It was him or me. He could shoot the ball better than I could, but I was a better athlete. Looking back at this event it may have been one of the most life changing moments in my life.
It was game day today. My teammates and I had a game against our rivalry high school Alta and we were pumped because we have beaten them every year since 2014. This year felt like we would keep that streak up and in motion. They had 6 really tall players while we only had 2. It made us all nervous for a while until we seemed to get over it.

I have learned a great many things from participating in High school Basketball. It has changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life. In the eighth grade, I was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. Playing Basketball altered all of these qualities.
Air ball— again. My form was lost, coordination gone, and so was my patience. I’ve stopped playing basketball for 3 months mainly because of school work and things going on in my life. I was determined to get my skills back no matter how long it’ll take. I started a game of basketball with other people inside the gyms court.
You feel relaxed when you're with your friends, and when you're doing something that you enjoy doing. However, one side reasons why sports bring many together and connect is maybe they might want the same goal at the end to win a event or make a meaningful memory with others.
