Hometown Rivalry

            It's a highly anticipated game and I'm excited to see how the players from both teams respond to this crowd. Both teams come out and run through their flags ripping it apart. Before they did that they got pumped but having their pre-game chant where they all huddle up and yell it out. Some players run the field and take a knee at the end to give a prayer before the game. I remember I use to this before every game just to ask for a healthy outcome. The dawgs run it in for the first touchdown and the team goes crazy jumping up and down to celebrate. The Jans score two touchdowns and stop the dawgs. When number 8 runs in for the td he stiffs arm number 44 and does his td celebration by wiping his hands down as if he got something on them. All the players on the sideline keep their helmets on. Many players have back pads, towels, gloves, and taped ankles. I notice players with stars on their helmets and some have more than others it looks like they represent achievements. The dawgs are down by two touchdowns going into the half. The Jans score once again and go up by three. The dawgs score and bring it back down to 2 touchdowns. The players show their excitement and jump up and down to celebrate again. I notice one play where the quarterback for the Jans gets pushed out of bounds in his own sideline and the players yelling asking the ref to throw the flag for a late hit. They act like they are throwing a flag to indicate this. Number 87 catches a 40 yard pass from number 10 and scores a touchdown. The game is out of reach at this point but the dawgs quarterback gets pumped and brings his players in a huddle. I think he is ready for a comeback. Unfortunately that is not going to happen.
