Action At the Park


            Wack! The coach just got hit with the ball as I’m arriving to the park. I bet he felt that one. Right in the leg. He was standing next to the goal and turned his head while one of the kids shot the ball and it hit the coach in the leg pretty hard. He seems to be okay now though. There seems to be a pick-up game between a couple guys at the basketball court. As I’m watching them play two players seem to be talking trash to each other. Neither of them seem to be any good this far into watching. I see a man and his dog playing fetch next to the park. I think the dog is a black lab. It is a nice dog. I don’t think there are any kids at the park. I haven’t seen any running around over there. I’m watching those guys play basketball and I still seem to think the two men talking trash to each other. It is an intense game over there. Both teams seem to be evenly matched. The soccer team is now scrimmaging. This one little boy is very good. He is dribbling through defenders and making all the goals for his team. The other team doesn’t seem to have a chance right now. Those two guys started pushing each other a second ago. Things are starting to heat up between them. The team had to separate them from guarding each other. I am guessing the game is close for tensions to be that high. It is a very competitive game as it seems. There is a lot of action here at the park today. I like it. The black lab seems to be getting tired from playing catch. They have been playing for a while now. A man and his son showed up and begun playing catch with a baseball and gloves. I remember when I used to be in that position playing catch with my dad. That brings back memories. Those two boys started pushing each other again and now the teams are having a scuffle. They are all talking trash now. One of the teams seems bitter because they were losing so badly. I think that’s causing some of the trouble as well. They sure are making a scene over there. Everyone here at the park is looking at them. Finally they get separated and I believe the game is over now because everyone is leaving now. The soccer team is still scrimmaging each other even though it is getting dark now. That little boy is destroying everyone still. Nobody can stop him. This kid is really good compared to all the other players. The boy and his dad are leaving now too. The Soccer team just got done and are beginning to leave.
