The Last Game as a JV

This was what my life was like on the day we played against the DeAnza Dons. As we walked out to the center of the field, the captains from the other team greeted us. We flipped the coin to see who would kick the ball, who would receive, and which end we wanted to defend. Noticing that they only had fifteen players, I estimated that we would win the game. I went back to the sideline and prepared myself for the kick return. The other team kicked an onside kick and we recovered the ball. On the first play of offense, we ran the ball about five yards, and our running back fumbled the ball. I was so mad that we had gone not even one play, that as soon as the offense hiked the ball, I plummeted through the line and tackled the running back on the other team and screamed in his face.
Staring at the other team with an angry face, I hit their linemen over and over until the offensive line had to swap sides. Filing in the holes and gaps of my responsibility, made it so the outside containment guys could get a couple tackles. On a lucky pass, the receiver for the other team jumped over our corners head in the in zone and scored. Furious with them scoring the first touchdown, I gave them some of my medicine and smacked a guy on their kickoff team so hard he was out for the rest of the quarter.
Now as the night came to roll in the score was 18 DeAnsa, and Alameda 16, with three minutes left on the clock. They were twenty yards from the goal, so we had to pick up our intensity in the game and stop them. First and ten, the offense ran an overload on my side, and they ran for negative yardage thanks to Marlas. Second and twelve, they passed and it was batted down.Third and twelve, they ran and got nine yards. Fourth and 3, now they were close to a touchdown, but they fumbled and our Defensive end recovered it. We were eighty yards from our in zone, and now the time was two minutes. We ran for a first down. then we had three plays that did not work, so we threw the ball and the receiver caught it and we were twenty yards from the touch down with thirty seconds left on the clock.We kicked a Field goal and it was good and we were ahead by two points. Kickoff was good the ran and fumbled and we recovered with three seconds left on the clock and we let the time run. Our game final was Alameda 19, DeAnsa 18.
