the field for the game of the season, as families and fans begin filling up the stands. High school football holds many peoples’ fondest memories, and teaches those involved important life lessons and values, but at what cost? Just during the 2005-2006 season, high school football players received more than half a million injuries nationally (“How Dangerous”). One seemingly unexpected danger of high school football is something that falls completely on the decisions made by coaches and players. If a
lights at a high school football game?. If so I’m sure you’ve been around loud screams and cheers from the people in the stadium. Let us not forget those mouthwatering nachos and gooey cheese also those hot and ready hot dogs and thirst quenching sodas. Watching those football players tackle each other and score touchdowns would be something I’d enjoy that if you ask me. Kathleen high school football has taught me many things over the past four years like learning the fundamentals of football, being
Extreme sports mix adventure, skill, and risk together to create something enjoyable and exciting for all. Extreme sports are different from soccer, basketball, and other “normal sports” because they take the step above and do what many say is impossible. The most popular extreme sports are BMX racing, highlining, tow-in-surfing, ice climbing, free soloing, and BASE jumping. Extreme sports are on the rise and many teens and kids want to participate.

be comfortable in a new community would be hard, how about changing schools 4 times. So I am going to share with you my experience going through 12 years in school. When I became old enough for school, my parents decided to sign me in a school called : Ibn Khaldoon? All I knew about that school is that most of my cousins went to that school. So, I was really excited and had big expectations. However, the first day of school was enough to break all of my expectations. Let me tell you what happened
Tennis is more than its dictionary meaning. It is more than just a game played by two or four players on rectangular courts divided by tennis nets. And it is certainly so much more than just rackets and balls bouncing back and forth. Tennis is a lifestyle. As Richard Evans once said, tennis is not as gentle as it may look. It requires a good amount of strate-gizing, a ton of psyching up and lots and lots of practice. It’s a mental and emotional game as much as it is physical. Without a doubt, this
but you LIVE, you LIVE to fight another day!” As a fan of football I have to keep this statement in my head. Time after time I would watch CAU get defeated by teams that, but I still had faith that one game we would be victorious. As the season continued I began to start seeing fewer students at the games to support our players, and I began to question my own faith in our team.

nightmare however, that is exactly what happen to me. As early as the age of eight years old, I became tired of the typical school everyday trap in the house lifestyle. Even though I didn’t know what I wanted to do as a child, I always knew deep down inside I was special in something. I had the privilege of watching my older brother who I look up to, become a superstar in high school playing soccer then you have my four sisters doing different types of sports track, basketball and etc. So there I was
(see fig. 1, 2, 3). Popular sports must attempt to appeal to the masses in America because they receive massive attention. When Colin Kaepernick, an NFL football star, kneeled during the national anthem he did not appeal to the audience, and the crowd relentlessly booed him. Following the audiences’ disapproval, the networks streaming the football games begin to show the anthem before the games— something untraditional to the usual Sunday night streams (Hoffman and Belson, “N.F.L.

Sports in school can be dangerous and exciting. They could give you thrills and excitement or stress and misery. The question is should schools cancel sports, I think, yes. Sports should be canceled because of financial, academic, and health reasons. Sports have brought many injuries, budget issues and grade loss to schools, the only way to fix this problem is to cut school sports.
