State Championship?


I think to myself why me why me. I’m only a freshman in high school. I should not be the only freshmen on the team. I know I’m good but that good? Coach must think I have a lot of potential if I’m going to be the starting goalie for the next four years. Four weeks later I’m about to have my first game of the season we are playing Oak hill high school there the best team in the state of Oregon. I do not want to let coach down but Oak hill is one of the premier high school’s for lacrosse in the  country.

 It’s the start of the last quarter we are up by one I just have to make a few saves and we will have are first win of the season all on me I can’t get too  excited they can some times  score at will. Lucky for me we have one of the greatest  defenses   in the state and in country. Ten minutes goes bye with out any shots on goal  there’s only  five minuets ‘oh no fast brake three on two I have to make the save for me and my team I do. There are only two  minuets left in the  until I win.  Yes the games over and we have are first win on the first game of the year so that means  were off to a good start  1-0.

I think to my self what’s next 10-0 okay Mark I say in my head I cant get to confident  something could happen  to me or my team. My friend Johnny  walks up to me  he is a  senior  and a caption  he ask if I want to go to a party with him its at this other kid on are teams house I say yes what the hell I should enjoy my self. Okay the party's at six so I have two hours  to get ready  Johnny  coming to get .I’m ready right when  six roles around  okay here's  Johnny. We hit up taco bell on the way ,we role up and  I see won of the biggest houses ever the kid that live here is frank.

So me and Johnny walk in together there's this one girl that say hi to me she is really hot. so I start talking to her   and we here a knock at the door  in the police they have come brake up the party so everyone  goes crazy and starts running out every which way. The police  arrest me  I guess that  I was under the influence. I think that bs  because I  have never drank I’m not stupid. I guess kids on my team are  so I’m going to get in trouble for what they did but I guess it’s my fault to for going to a party were there was drinking happening I just hope coach does not find out .
One week latter I’m suspend for the next nine games witch really sucks. My  team has a 6-3 record with the other goalie not bad I think I have to get my starting spot back. So I start to practicing   with other kids on my team  they shoot on me. Okay after nine weeks of practice  with the other kids on my team  I have  gotten to the  best lacrosse shape ever.

I’m ready for this practice  I have to show  my team they can count on me for the hole  year and in the playoffs I need to play consistent which the other goalie can not seem to do. That good for me  I have two hours left in the day and practice right after it’s almost like I'm counting every second in my head. Okay schools over now I'm out to prove something  I’m on a mission and I do it  so good. I going to the starting goalie for my team I can feel it. Okay we have a last game coming up until the  playoff start we are going to win it all. I mean a state championship the biggest of them kids sometimes never get to play in them its a grate thing if you do.

Okay are last game is over and its the start of the playoff we have a six seed out of sixteen teams  which is not that bad seeing how I missed nine out of are eleven games. Which were both wins for the record. I think we can do its, are first games against the twelfth seed. I think It looks good the team we are playing was team played in the last  game we won 11 to 2 it was an easy win what do  you know we beat them again 11 to 2.

Here comes the next round we are playing the fourth seed who was won of are lose but they have not seen me yet so they do not know what there dealing with. I hope to  beat them so we can go to the championship.Oh yeah we are going to the championship your never going to guess who we are playing  are rivals Oakhill we beat them the first game  but we got luck on are side.



It’s the championships  we have to win it’s the most important game I have ever played in my life for any sport. We have to win and  we did, we won with the final score  11-10 the game ended  in the second overtime that means were state champion it the greatest day of my life.
