Defeat

“ Ready!”

“ Break!”
Team runs up to the line.
Setup.
Wide receivers run to towards the sidelines.
Slow motion.
Heart racing, EXPLODING!
Running Backs blocking in the backfield.
Good luck.
Still as a bronze statue.
Cheering in the stands.
Running up to the line and back.
Take a deep breath, and relax.
Wipe my sweaty hands on my jersey.
“Ready!”
“Set!”
“Blue 210, Blue 210!”
“Go!”
They come for me like starving lions.
Trying to shed their blocks, they run past.
It all happened so fast.
Bad snap.
A loss for the Clarkston Wolves.
Waldon 14...
Clarkston 12...
Good game...
We love you...

This is about the time I lost my football game because it was a bad snap from the center.
