Sports Narrative Essay Example

game that we did win. That game was against Aberdeen. In the first quarter one of our players had fumbled the ball and Aberdeen scored a touchdown and went up 6-0.

As a team we were all down thinking that we were going to get blown out just like all the other games but the coaches kept our heads up. From that point on both teams had played great defense and no one had scored a single point until the fourth quarter.We had the ball with about 3 minutes to go and it was our last chance, we actually thought we could win a game. With less than one minute left in the game we scored a touchdown and then we went for a 2 point conversion since no one on the team could kick a field goal. With the game tied 6-6 that is when I went into my own little zone and was in my moment.

The crowed was electrified and cheering us on. I thought about all the hard work the coaches put us through doing two a days and keeping us late after a hard practice, spending all of that time and hard work just for this one little moment when the game was on the line.Back to reality our quarterback had started the play and it looked like it was going nowhere and we might have to got into overtime. Then after about 6 crazy seconds he threw the ball to our halfback and he broke a couple tackles and the somehow stretched across the goal line by about 2 inches and we had taken the lead 8-6 with 52 seconds to

go. When the game clock hit 00:00 for the first time in our schools history the football team had beaten Aberdeen and none of us could believe it.This was a special moment.

Now, it was in this moment when I had realized that sports define me as me because we never gave up, none of us wanted to lose, we set a goal and completed it, but most important we kept our eye on the prize and came through in the moment when the game was on the line. Nobody is going to remember how many games we won or who the best player on the team was that season, but I guarantee what people will remember is when we had beaten Aberdeen for the first time in school history.
