A touchdown for the home team as I get to the field site.
First thing I notice is all the players with the exception of one wearing their
helmets on the sideline. I remember last game the other team was completely
opposite with all their helmets off. One player seems injured has his shoe off
and stretching his leg. Number 22 who is my cousin runs it in for the touchdown
but apparently there was a flag on the play. The whole team gets very upset
throwing a fit. They still happen to get a first down getting very close to
scoring. The very next play number 22 runs it in again and the players
celebrate jumping in the air.
They happen to give up a touchdown on defense but the lead
is still large. I got here at the start of the fourth quarter. Number 20 put
his shoe back on but he is limping I believe he is done for the day. Like every
other team that is up in a game the sideline players put their attention away
from the game. Most players sitting on the bench with their helmets off
conversing. Many players have towels at their waist, tape on their ankles, and
gloves. This is a way for the team to show they are one, I remembering playing
we would all were the same shoes to show our dedication to the team.
Interception from the defense and the players and fans go crazy. Number 22 gets
very excited and jumps up in the air. This team is very enthusiastic showing
support on and off the field. They call number 22 to the field and since he was
sitting on the bench he didn't hear which cost them a timeout. I notice the
fans are more into the game calling out names of players like they know them
all. The fans interacting with each other asking questions like what the score
is, laughing, and seeing how they can get the couch to encourage the players. I
notice that this may be because the players grew up playing little league ball
together and the family got close. Even at the end of the game I hear the fans
asking where poker night is taking place this week. My uncle has volunteered to
be the host. Now that the home team has been scoring the players on the
sideline pay more attention. I noticed that the coach even put in the starters
to secure the one which many of the fans loved. The game ends and the players
full of excitement and joy jumping yelling and congratulating one another. Like
every other game both teams line up at the fifty and shake each other's hands.
Then after they all group up around the coach and take a knee and talk about
the game. The next team which is the JV team is getting ready for their game.
