Assertion Of Skill
The hot sun was unforgiving,
The game was brutal,
With the pressure from the crowd,
And the pressure from the defense.
With the will of a giant,
And the fight of a bull,
With a win right here,
We can start the season off strong.
With 3 minutes on the timer,
And just a handful of strength,
We make one last push for the goal,
The ball comes over and just misses wide.
1 MINUTE REMAINING,
The announcer shouts over the speaker.
As the ball is sent into the box
Just 25 seconds left.
The sophomore strikes,
With only one goal in mind.
The ball glides effortlessly towards the net,
It clips the post and bends into the goal as the crowd applauds the finish.
A magnificent finish
To an instant classic.
Winners on the field,
Respect from our peers.
