''You guys ready for the game tomorrow''! our coach screamed while we were in a huddle.
Everyone screamed ''Yeah''! I was ready for sure. I wanted to score a touchdown so bad.
The next morning I had to get up at 6 a.m. I wasn't happy about that. The game was on our home field. We did some warm ups , just to get ourselves going. Then it was time to play. My team was on defense so I wasn't on the field. On the third play they scored a 70 yard touchdown. Now it was our turn. I am a running back so I like to score touchdowns and get all of the glory. I could feel the adrenaline going as we walked onto the field. We all huddled up and called the play.
The quarterback hiked the ball and handed it to me. I felt so nervous as I ran the ball through the line. I had only gotten about 3 yards. We huddled up again to call the second play. The quarterback hiked the ball and threw a bullet to the receiver. He caught it and we had gotten a first down. Everyone cheered. Now it was my turn to get a first down and possibly get a touchdown. The quarterback hiked the ball and gave it to me. I plowed through the linemen and found a hole to go through. I was flying by defenders. Then I saw a defender out of the corner of my eye. then everything went black.
I woke up in the hostpital. There my mom told me to lay back down and go to sleep. I didn't want to.
''Whats going on''? I asked.
'' The doctor has told us that you have gotten a minor concusion''. I was so scared after she told me this.
'' What am I going to do now''? I thought to myself.
The next few practices I had to sit out. I hated it. Atleast I didn't have to do the sprints.

'' I cant believe you have the courage to run the ball after what happend last year''. said Jacob( a
kid on my team).
''It feels great to step back onto this field. Lets go kick some butt''!
