4-1

The football team is now 4-1 after our 42-3 stomping over Marshall County. Even thought the trip down there was really long, I had a great time. Sense we won so easily it was a blast. I also had a great game. I ran right through all the tackles and put a hurting on some of the people that tried to tackle me. I also ran for my first varsity touchdown. I was very excited for that and I hope I have many more left to go. I also went to the UK versus Florida game on Saturday night. We left early Saturday morning and got there at 12 their time. We had to go get my brother a new tire because he had a blow out on his way back last time. My parents went to do that and my brother, Will, and I went to get some food and hung out in the dorm while they were gone. We did that for a couple hours, then we went to the tailgating to hang out with some of his friends. After feeling out of place the whole time, Will and I decided to go get our seats. It was a very long walk and I was pleased to see that my chair had a back to it. Our seats were pretty good and that made me very happy. Even though UK didn't win, I did get to see the number 1 team in the nation play and I got to see their quarterback get knocked out cold. Its bad that he got hurt, but it was also cool to see because it shows that even one of the best players can still get hurt by a bad team.

Rain Rain Go Away

Its raining today and we have football practice. I hate going outside when its raining. Tuesday we went out side in the rain and came in after ten minutes of being out there. We were all mad because it was pointless to even go out there. We waited !5 minutes and went to the parking lot and practiced. That practice was really weird and I felt bad because i was soaking wet. My cleats were like five pounds each and my feet were squashing with water inside my cleat. I came into the locker room yesterday and it stunk more that usual because of the rain. I picked up my cleats and they were still wet, so I had to put on my cleats from freshman year. They weren't that comfortable, but they got me through practice. Sense its raining today we should practice in the gym and its a walk through day so it shouldn't be that hard. I still wish it wouldn't of rained because we needed to have a good practice outside to get us ready for the game. This game is very important and if we win we will be in the playoffs. I have never been in the playoffs, so I want this win very badly. Plus we have to drive 2 1/2 hours to get there, so ill be mad about that to. I guess ill just have to explode with all my anger when the game starts. That will be good for me anyway. My dad says that he needs to make me mad before the games because I always play better when I am mad and I usually don't get that mad. I hope the game goes well and i hope we can improve to an amazing 4-1 start.

3-1

Well its the first day back on here after a game, so of course thats what i'm going to write about. Like i said Friday that it was going to be a good game and that we should come out on top. We started out bad just so we could see what kind of defense they were running, and then we put it into gear. We marched right down the field many times. I was running my hardest because I don't like Catholic at all, so i wanted to embarrass them. We ended up beating them pretty bad, but it still wasn't good enough for my liking. I wish we could have beat them by 100, but 20 is good enough for me. Maybe now that we made them look so bad they will stop talking smack and understand how terrible they are. I knew that we were terrible last year and I never said a word about beating another team. This year though, we are a very good team and I have confidence that we can go and play any team in the state and have a chance to beat them. I am very proud to be apart of the Apollo Eagle football team and I wouldn't want to be on any other team.

Just Another Friday

Well its Friday again so that means its time for football. We had a hard off week to get ready to play Catholic. They aren't doing that good this year, but it is still a rivalry so we can't look past this game. It always a fast pace rough nose football game with a lot of hate. I always look forward to this game because they are really cocky and I just want to make them shut up and feel defeat. We beat them last year and they are still talking bad about us, so this year we are going to embarress them. Apollo is going to make them wish they never stepped foot on the field, they will crawl off the field crying to their mothers. It is going to be a great game and I hope a lot of people show up for it because they will get their moneys worth. I don't care what I have to do to help us win this game because I HATE Catholic and I want them to walk around with their heads down until next years game so we can beat them again.

Does Money Grow On Trees?

Money means a lot to me. It means that I can buy anything I want and just have fun. If I had a lot of money I could go see the movie Ive wanted to see for a while. It is important because it helps you have a better life. If you didn't have any money then you would be in a lot of trouble becuase you would be in debt and couldn't buy the food you need to survive. I don't think you can ever have enough money because that means that you can give money away to the poor and charity. The lack of money means that you have to worry about what your going to do to get money all the time. It may lead you to steal from somebody even though thats not who you are. It can bring out a side of you that isn't good just because you are trying to survive. Money does make the world go round because right now our economy is terrible and the world is just confussed on what to do now. We were all fine when the economy was good because we didnt have to worry about not having a job and not being able to afford anything.

Laptops

I just got back from taking my laptop to the help desk. I had to take it there because it wouldn't login. I like having the laptops, but they are getting a little old. They are a pain to carry around and a pain when they aren't working right. They also have their advantages. I don't have to write all the time because I hate writing. I can research things to help me understand what im learning. I can send my teachers my work and I can keep up on world events. My life without a laptop wouldn't be the same becuase i depend on it to get me through the day. If I don't know something I can look it up and learn about it. If im bored at home I can find a cool game to play and if I missed the game the night before, I can look it up on ESPN and get updated. Laptops have their pros and cons, but they are a life saver.

My Week

Well my life is pretty simple. I go through the same routine everyday. Wake up, go eat, get dressed, go to school, football practice, go home, eat, shower, and bed. Its the same everyday and it makes me very tired. It makes life so boring. I look forward to the weekends because they are a lot of fun and I can get out of my routine. I usally have a game on Friday and on Saturday I am most likely at my best friend Will's house. My mom hates that I always go over there, but I have a good time over there and I hate staying home. Sundays I just stay at home all day and bore myself. Then on Monday the whole process starts all over again.

Defeat

Last friday night was our first lost. We were winning the whole game and with about a minute left Warren Central scored on us and we lost. It was a terrible defeat. We were all mad and depressed. Now we have to go to back to all of the hard practices and running all the time. When football finally became fun again we lose and its back to being serious and no fun. We have a bye week now so it will be hard because we dont have a game. The Friday after this we play Catholic and we should role past them and get back to our winning ways. Everybody has minor set backs, but the great teams learn from it and get back on track and keep winning.

3-0?

As of right now our football team is 2-0. It is only about the 12th time in school history that is has happened. Tomorrow is a very important game. We have a great chance to go 3-0. It will be a huge win and show that the Eagles of Apollo are for real. Coach Bates said that it is going to be a great atmosphere for football and that a lot of people are excited about the game. I havent been this excited for a game in my whole life. A victory tomorrow will be a milestone in my life. I can't explain how happy I would be if we were to win. Our fans are finally excited about our team again and I want them to keep coming, so we have win this game and impress everybody. The team has put in hundreds of hours of practice to get this far. We will make it to the playoffs this year, there are no excuses for not making it.

Coming Down To The Last Second

Friday night we beat Warren East. It was a great game and im glad we won. We blew a big lead just like last week, but this time it was a little to close. We were down by one point with two minutes left. We drove all the way down the field, and then Hunter threw an interception. We all thought the game was over. Our defense went back onto the field and stuffed them in their tracks. We got the ball back very close to the endzone. DJ made an amazing catch to win the game for us. After the game we were awarded with a trophy. The whole football team was going crazy with joy. Everybody now knows that we aren't the same team as the past two years. We are winners and wont go down without a fight.
