Runningback of the Year
In a very well known small football high school named Oaks Christain. A sophomore named Bobby Kiwanuka for Oaks Christain. Bobby was trying out for runningback since he has always liked running but was slow. His friend made varsity as a backup, but also played on junior varsity. His name was Jerry Hart, he was tall, built, and had a tattoo of his his mom's name on his left arm. While Bobby was about medium size, with brown hair and eyes and just started lifting this year. Bobby ended up making the team on Junior Varsity, but was probably the worst player on the team.
Football season started and Bobby was the second-string runningback. Because not many people tried out for that position. The first game went well for him he came in at the end of the game and had two rushes for six yards. This helped run out the clock and win the game for Oaks Christian. His friend Jerry who played middle linebacker was asking how his first game had gone. Jerry wasn't there since varsity had a game that night.
"Yo man how did your first game go", said Jerry "did we win."
"Yeah, we won but i only got two carries for six yards",said Bobby
"Good, we won too, don't worry you'll get more carries throughout the year"
"Thanks"
After practice Bobby felt pretty good about how hard he tried. His dad, Joe camed and picked him up.
"So how did practice go", said Joe
"I think it went pretty well", said Bobby "we have a game tomorrow can you come"
"Yes, i will i am off tomorrow anyway"
"Sweet, i'll try my hardest"
"good"
Bobby always wanted his dad to proud of him, what Bobby didn't know was that his Dad was always proud of him. Bobby then wnet to sleep and was excited about the game tomorrow. He woke up and went downstairs and had his regular breakfast, Ice Cream in between two waffles. He found them out from his uncle and since he has been eating them. His uncle used to do this and Bobby always looked up to him, so he does everything his uncle does.
Bobby got ready and finally arrived at school. When first period began he noticed that he wasn't really paying attention to the classes. He was zoning out the entire time thinking about the upcoming football game tonight. Earlier that morning the coach said that he would be coming in in the second half. When school finally ended he was glad and went to the stadium to get ready for the big game versus rival Venice.
The game started and immediately Bobby's friend Jerry picked off the quarterback and returned it for a touchdown.
"Nice job, Jerry", said Bobby
"Thanks", said Jerry
It was halftime now and Oaks Christain was up twenty-one to ten. The coach told Bobby he could go in. After the kickoff Oaks Christain was on the thirty yard line. The first play was a handoff to Bobby. Bobby cut up the middle ran through some tackles and ran for twenty yards before getting horse collared by the safety Terrell Williams. The crowd all cheered after the big run, they then noticed thatBobby was down on the field grabbing his right leg. The crowd gaped in awe as the team medic ran on to the field. Bobby ended up getting checked out in the locker room.
In the locker room the medic said that he will be out for the rest of the year with a torn ACL. Bobby was extremely angry that he was injured. He finally got his chance to actually show what he can do and got injured. His dad walked in to the locker room.
"So how do you feel", said Joe
