Ball game

I could just tell something was going to happen that night. The crazy energy in the atmosphere at the Capital One Arena made it obvious. It was the Boston Celtics vs Washington Wizards with the Wizards facing a crucial game six. This game could send the Wizards home if they didn’t win. Me being a Washington Wizards superfan, I was into every second until the buzzer. Playoff basketball is something else, something beyond amazing. I remember my dad pointing out, “This is just great, isn’t it?” I…

choir. Now volleyball is a fun sport, if you know how to play. Mainly the whole point of the game is to hit on the others side of the net inside the square.

was. It was very muddy, making the ball slippery. It was a back-and-forth type of game, and they had scored the first points!

Qymere and I scored all of the points for our team and we ended up winning! We didn’t allow them to score another point as we went on to score 18. After this game, my team(now family) were…

It is a rather chilly Sunday afternoon. This was the first game of the day. It was a gloomy morning. There was no sun in sight and the cold wind feels like a slap to the face. You could almost see the determination in the girl's eyes. They knew that if they won this game they could go to the championship game. They had to win this game. The game started out just like any other girls soccer game. Both teams took the field to warm up. One team wore uniforms with bright red jerseys with solid…

We have learnt that friction prevents a soccer ball from going forward forever when it is kicked and friction aids players to maintain control over the ball and their…

A place which sticks in our family’s heart is Port Elliot Caravan Park. I have been going to there for 15 years,…

Catch Of My Life Over my shoulder, the ball was spinning through the air, ripping through the wind, and the crowd goes completely silent.
