Favorite Sport

Authors note: This is my creative piece for language arts.

There are a couple of sports I enjoy, but the one sport that I like most is football.  Because it is hardworking and fun, football is my favorite sport.  Football can be very painful sometimes when teammates and even players on the other team get injured because some of the injuries are very gruesome, but the sport itself makes up for it.  It is full of excitement because you get to be violent and lay other people out without getting in trouble for it.  You can be as rough as you want and people can’t retaliate until the next play.  Football is a very adrenaline pumping sport.  The energy and the excitement that the sport gives you when you play makes you feel like no one can stop you: It all depends on who’s the better player at the line.

Football is probably the sport that is played by most guys in Pewaukee.  With 1600 students in Pewaukee High and Asa Clark Middle School, only about 150 students have the guts to play football.  Football is one of the most played sports in the United States.  Once most people start playing, they don’t want to stop.  Throughout the United States, football is loved by millions; including me.

My position on the football team was an offensive tackle.  My position is one of the most important positions on the team.  A lot of people think that the running back, and the quarterback are the most important because they're the ones who score the touchdowns, but how would they score the touchdowns without the linemen?  If I wasn’t there to block for my running back or quarterback, the defense could have been right in the back field destroying our quarterback/running back.  The other position I play is defensive end.  My position on defense is somewhat important because the defensive players that were on the line were the ones that determined if the other team got a big play or a small play.  If the rest of the D-line and I got through the other teams linemen, we would usually be able to stop the play.

If you are the one better at the line, you will be able to get the perfect block, or get through the others teams offensive line.  It all depends on how much you actually enjoy the sport.  If you keep the energy and the excitement with you in an actual game, you will almost always be the better player at the line.
