Personal Narrative

Authors Note: I wrote this personal narrative about my football game against Tosa East because it was a really fun game and we also won it. Our team doesn't win that many games because we have to play players that aren't exactly the best. Since we have 40 players on our team we have a lot of players that aren't all that great.

"Set, Red, Set, Go!" "First down Pewaukee Pirates on the 55!" On Saturday my football team played a game against Tosa East on our home field! It was a important game for us because we had lost the last few games and had started to loose our moral. This game was a very fun game but to me the last five minutes were the most import.

After an unsuccessful play I jog back to the huddle to listen to Carl call the play. "632 counter on one, ready? BREAK!" As I walk up to the line I can barely keep in my excitement as I think of the moves I'm gonna make when I get the ball, but I can't get too excited because I need to remember to get the hand off on the inside and cut into the two hole. "Set, Red," By now I'm smiling in excitement as I see Mike go in motion, "Set, GO!" I take off down the line of scrimmage to see Carl right where he should be ready to hand me the ball, I take the ball and take a hard left up the perfect hole my blockers have made me. I can feel defensive players hanging on to the back of my jersey but they can't hand on for long since I never stop moving my legs. Then I see someone right in front of me.

It's a little guy who tries to wrap up my legs but I decided to be awesome and step over him in stride which was pretty cool. Once I get past him all I see is open field. Right when I'm thinking this is going to be a touchdown run I get tripped up by about three people. I jog back to the huddle to get a couple high fives and smacks to the helmet which don't necessarily feel good. "733 counter on one ready break!" As I walked up to the line of scrimmage I wish that I would get the ball again this play. "Set, Red," I take off in my motion, "Set, Go!" As I start to block someone I heard the whistle signaling that they play was over so I stopped blocking and turned around to see a nice three yard gain, now back to the huddle.

632 counter on one, ready, break!" I'm literally jumping in my steps, because I get to run the ball again. " Red, Set, Go!" I take a hard step to the right and start sprinting towards Carl to get the ball. I snatch the ball and cut up the middle. I run about eight yards before I am tackled. After the huddle I'm excited for the next play, 747 crisscross. "Set, Red," I take off down the line of scrimmage, "Set, GO!" I quickly grab the ball from Carl and in a split second I had it to Mike and start blocking someone. I turn to see Mike running to the end zone. "Touchdown Pirates!"

To me those were the most important moments of the game because it was to clutch our win in our football game.
