It is Friday and we have a game against our rival school. It is the first quarter and we are up 19-0 in the first quarter, but then in the second quarter they just start scoring touchdown after touchdown, and by the end of the second quarter going into halftime it is 20-19 with them in the lead. After halftime is over and we finish warming up, we go back into the field and they end up scoring another touchdown with the score now 27-19, and at this point, we start to lose a little hope because we had the lead and now we are losing by a touchdown and an extra point. Then we are able to get the ball back to score a touchdown and make the kick for an extra point, making the score now 27-27. We go back and forth for a while without anyone scoring, so we end up going into overtime without anyone scoring again, and we end up going into a second overtime. Offense gets the ball and for about 15 plays they hold us to a stop and we don’t score, they then get the ball and run it into the end zone making the final score 33-27.
What inspired me to write this was our crushing loss against our rival school Spring Woods and being a player and actually playing in the game just made it all the more worse.
I like the way you wrote your piece because it felt like you were commentating throughout the whole time. You guys still did good.

In this piece I relate to Jan's disappointment in losing that rival game because in soccer I have also dealt with a defeat like that by our rival team. Overall I liked this piece because something like this is something not a lot of athletes like to talk about.

I really like the picture that was used for this section, and the visualizations of the piece as he tells his point of view from the field when I saw it from the stands, regardless of the loss it was an amazing game.

I like how he pointed out everything that was happening through the game based on the score and how it led them to a very close game.
