Final Game of the Season

Final Game of the Season

By Max Boar

It was the last football game and the Green Bay Packers needed the win. The coach said that they only have one more practice before the game and they needed to win this game to be the best in the country. 

 Someone got hurt on the weekend, but no one knew who was injured. The coach got a text and it said’ I will not be at the game or the last practice’. Then the coach looked up at the top of his phone and it said Michael Ron texted him. He was the best player on the team and they needed him for the last game to take home a win and be the best. 

So the coach texted the backup wide receiver that he will be needed to play at the last game to take home the win and be the best team and undefeated team in the country. After he got that text he started practicing for the last game because he knew that his team would get mad at him for not catching balls or making yards or maybe touchdowns. 

So the whole week he was practicing to win. That practice day he showed up and proved a lot of people wrong on how good he was at football and they did their best they have in a long time. 

So the coach made a deal that if they win and be the best he will give them all ice cream cards. He loved ice cream so he really wanted that and to not mess the whole game up for their team and himself. Then the day they drive to the game and a few hours of the time they just listened to music and slept on the bus ride until they showed up. 

We all showed up at the game and it was an indoor football field at Lambeau Field. Which was weird because we were used to having an outdoor field. 

 We all walked into the field and it was really nice. Then we walked to the locker room to set all of our stuff down in the room and then we talked about what our main plays were doing to beat them without Michael Ron. 

  We all started talking about how we had to win this game and who we did have and who we do have. We all head out into the field to start our stretches and drills but the coach notice that they are way bigger than us. So then our coach made us push harder in the drills and stretches to show them that we aren’t scared of them. 

Coach sends two people over to the refs for captains and when we get up there they are way bigger than us so one of my teammates is scared but I am not. The refs say heads or tails and when he flips it up we say tails and it spins down and lands on tails. Me and my teammate walk back to our side of the field and I tell the coach that we won the toss and we are going to be on defense of the ball kicking towards the sun so we can have the sun on our back on offense instead of defense. We kick off and the ball goes all the way to the other side of the field and they pick it up. They start running down the field till my team and I come out and hit him. He falls and drops the ball. 

So it would be called a fumble and we pick it up and get tackled at the twenty yard line. Then our quarterback gets told what play to run. I run out for the ball and the rest of my teammates run curls. I got open and BOOM I got the ball in my hands and ran down the field for the touchdown. 

I get past the line and we all start yelling because we scored.then the time gets down to the last 7 minutes and the score is 24 to 21 they have the ball and we are down points. So I play safety and the ball gets thrown in the air and I am on a different side of the ball so I can’t get it then everyone just hears a BOOM CRASH and yelling. 

So I turn around and my teammate is running it down the field and then he scores the last points and we win the game with 10 seconds on the clock. Then after that we all get ice cream and go to bed happy as ever. And that is the last game for the Green Bay Packers. And they are the best.

The Game That Changed Everything

The Game That Changed Everything

  By: Dogman Smith

Tyler Jackson, the 16-year-old captain of the Willow Creek Wildcats, had one dream, to lead his team to their first-ever state championship. But this season wasn’t just about soccer. A rift within the team and personal doubts threatened to tear apart everything Tyler had worked for. This is the story of how he, along with his friends Emma, Malik, and Coach Harper, confronted adversity on and off the field to achieve the impossible.

The Wildcats had always been a tight-knit group. But tension began to surface as the semifinal game against the undefeated Silver Valley Strikers approached. Tyler’s best friend and the team’s star midfielder, Emma Williams, had grown increasingly frustrated with his leadership style.

“Tyler, you don’t listen,”  Emma snapped practice one afternoon. “You’re so focused on scoring that you ignore our practiced plays. Soccer isn’t a one-man show.”

Tyler bristled at her words. He felt the weight of the team’s expectations on his shoulders, and he believed he had to take charge to lead them to victory. “I’m doing what I think is best for the team,” he shot back. “If you can’t handle it, maybe you’re not as committed as I thought.”

The argument left a bitter taste in the air. Malik Thompsin, the team’s goalkeeper and peacemaker, tried to meditate. “Guys, we need to work together, not against each other,” he pleaded. But the damage had been done. Emma’s trust in  Tyler was shaken, and Tyler began doubting whether he was the right person to lead.

The rift couldn’t have come at the worst time. The Wildcats were about to face their toughest opponent yet, the Silver Valley Strikers, a team known for their speed, skill, and Ethan Miller, the league’s top scorer. Tyler knew the Wildcats couldn’t afford to be divided, but he struggled to address the growing tension.

Coach Harper noticed the discord during practice. “What’s going on with you two?” she demanded, pulling Tyler and Emma aside. “If you don’t resolve this, you’ll lose the game before you even step foot on the field.”

Emma crossed her arms. “He doesn’t trust me to make decisions. He’s acting like he has to do everything himself.”

Tyler hesitated, then admitted, “I just feel like if I don’t take control, we’ll fall apart.”

Coach Harper’s voice softened. “Tyler, leadership isn’t about doing everything yourself. It’s about trusting your team. And Emma, if you see something he’s missing, tell him but do it in a way that builds him up, not tears him down. The Wildcats need both of you to win.”

The day of the semifinal arrived. The stadium buzzed with energy as fans packed the stands. From the first whistle, the Strikers dominated the field. By halftime, the Wildcats were down 2-0, and Tyler felt the weight of failure pressing down on him.

In the locker room, Tyler stood silently, unsure what to say. Then, Emma spoke up. “We’re not playing as a team,” she said, her voice steady but firm. “Tyler, we need you to lead, but you have to trust us too. Let’s do this together.”

Tyler looked around the room, seeing the determination in his teammates’ eyes. “You’re right,” he said. “Let’s stick to our strategy. Emma, call the plays. Malik, keep doing what you do best. I’ll be there when you need me.”

The second half began, and the Wildcats played like a different team. Emma orchestrated the midfield with precision, threading passes through the Strikers’ defense. Tyler scored their first goal with a powerful strike, reigniting hope. Malik, with his trademark resilience, made save after save, keeping the Wildcats in the game.

With just five minutes left, Emma executed a perfect corner kick. Tyler leaped into the air and headed the ball into the net, tying the game. The crowd erupted, but the Wildcats weren’t done yet. In the final moments, Emma intercepted a pass and sent a long ball to Tyler, who dribbled past Ethan Miller and scored the winning goal.

The Wildcats had done the impossible. They defeated the Strikers 3-2 and advanced to the championship.

As the team celebrated on the field, Tyler and Emma exchanged a glance. “I couldn’t have done this without you, “Tyler admitted.

Emma smiled. “And I couldn’t have done it without you trusting me.”

Their bond, once strained, was now stronger than ever. Coach Harper beamed with pride as she addressed the team. “You showed heart, discipline, and teamwork today. This is what champions are made of.”

The Wildcats’ journey wasn’t just winning a soccer game. For Tyler, it was about learning to trust his teammates and embracing the fact that leadership isn’t about control, it’s about collaboration. For Emma, it was about finding her voice and using it to strengthen the team. And for Malik, it was a reminder that optimism and resilience could carry a team through even the toughest challenges.

The Wildcats went on to win the state championship, but the true victory lay in the lessons they learned along the way. Sports, they realized, weren’t just about competition, they were about growth and connection.

Hi my name is Ben,I’m 23 and I’m going to tell you about my childhood and how I played football when I was a kid.

I was born in 2001,September26.

Fast forward to when I was six and I started to get interested in football and on my birthday I got a football to play with my older sister. My sister and I went outside to play catch and the football coach was walking by.

“You are good at throwing a football.” seid the coach.

“Thank you” seid Ben

“Your welcome”

“I have a question”

“What that kiddo”

“Can I join the football team for the quarterback since I’m good at throwing the ball?”

“Yauy you can. Let’s start you off at widresever so you can get used to running first.”

“Ok thank you for letting me know coach”

“Your welcome Ben.”

So the next day I was on the football team doing drills and running laps around the football field. The next day we were doing drills like the left then cut right to chech the ball in mid air to get a touchdown.

“You are good at catching the football and throwing it.” sied jem.

“Thank you for the compliment man.”

“No problem for my best friend.”

I had the best time in football and we had made it to the big leagues and we had won.That was the first big game of the year.We had to head home after the game.My mom was worried for my safety on the way home from the bus making noises when we were leaving the school.

We had another football game and we were going to the new york field to play in and we were only 9 and 10 from the age and we are in a famous football field and we are from New Jersey.We are far from home to go back right away.The coach got about 20 rooms for each on of us to be in ower own room to be in and we get to do water we want to.But we have to be quiet whal we are doing the stuff that we want to do.

It was the next day and we were on our way to New Jersey on the school bus and it should take two days to get there.Well i was wrong cuz the bus broke down and nowone had sarves for their phones.But luckily the coach had a satellite phone for just in case this happens to us on the way home.We all called ower parents to let them know that we whald be home later than planned.So instead of taking two days it whald take about three days to get home safely.

The next day we broke down again so we had to call our parents again to let them know we won’t be home as planned again. We were getting irritated.I helped with the engine.We had to tear the engine apart so we could fix it so it wouldn’t break down again.We put the engine back together and we got back on the main highway so we could get home.

The next day we had made it to the school and we had to go home.My dog was so excited to see me again,my sister was still being a jerk like she always is.The next day I was sore as can be win I woke up and thin my sister sad to take the dog out and i told her to take the cuz of how sore i was.She told on me for not taking the dog out and they said

“Why don’t you take the dog out yourself cuz your brother is to sore to get out of bed to take the dog out.” said mom

“No it’s not my chore.My chore is the dishes every other night.

“Thin dishes ant his chore if taking the dog out is so hard to do.”

“O my god I will take the dog out cuz i don’t whant to do dishes every night cuz i whant it where we swap nights.”

Like I said she is a jerk and onley thinks about herself and she stells all of my hard earned money.On a Tuesday i had to mow the lawn.I got paid by my parents to mow the lawn.I got paid $50 to mow the lawn.

We had gone back to school the next day and every one had been hanging on me all day asking me all kinds of questions like 

“Are you a football player?”

“Yes I am a football player and we won awer last game by three points.It was a close game.

THANK YOU FOR READING AND HAVE A  GOOD DAY
