Author's Note:This is a creative piece about a high school football team and there journey into the playoffs. In this piece I really worked on my punctuation and grammar.
Seconds were winding down, the Mustangs were down by two and with no timeouts, it was going to be a hard game to win. The Mustangs had the ball at the twenty yard line, all they need is to get the ball to a good position for the kicker, but the Grizzlies’ defense was amazing the whole game. The quarterback on the mustangs received the snap the ball and hits their star receiver for a twenty yard gain. Now at the middle of the field twenty more yards would be ideal for the kicker. Again, the quarterback receives the snap and rolls back, but no one was open and the grizzlies star linebacker sacks him for a loss. It’s second down and the quarterback is rolling back, finds the running back for a five yard gain. Third down the running back blows through the middle and gets the first down. Only a few yards left and a few seconds left.
The quarterback receives the snap, but a defensive lineman breaks through the line like a bull breaks through a gate which forces the quarterback throw the ball out of bounce. The time
is stopped at five seconds and the
team’s only choice is to attempt an around fifty five yard kick. Not only does the kicker have to focus on
accuracy, but he also has to kick the ball as hard as he can for it make it
there. The team is on the field and the ball is snapped. It’s a clean catch and put , the kicker runs
and gets the kick off. It whizzed across
the field like Usain Bolt whizzes across the track , hits the bottom post of the field goal and … goes in!
The bench of the Mustangs goes crazy as well as the crowd. That snapped the Grizzlies undefeated season
and had brought the mustangs into the playoffs.
The kicker gets picked up and carried around the field and into the
locker room. Over the next few weeks the
Mustangs went on a hot streak, blowing out teams that they would’ve lost to.
The Mustangs made it all the way to the division championship where they played
the Grizzlies again, but this time instead of a close game the Mustangs won by
seven. This season went down in the
school records, leaving the juniors pumped for the next season.
