Something New
By: Dont'e Burrell
It is fun trying something new. Have you ever joined a football team, for the first time? When I joined my first football team, I was shy and scared at the same time. I caught butterflies in my stomach. It is also fun to get new ideas and do new things. Remember don’t be shy.
This is what I did when I went on the field, the offensive coach named Coach Duck made me a running back. I ran the ball down the field. It was fun running the ball, but you have to try new positions .The next thing Coach Duck made me was a wide receiver. I caught all the balls the quarterback threw to me. A wide receiver’s job is to catch the ball and run it into the inzone. The defensive coach named Coach Tim made me a defensive end. My job at defensive end was to get in the backfield and sack the quarterback.

The other players treated me equal. I wasn't any different than the other players. Our coaches treated everyone the same. The other players joked around with me. They had now became my friends. They were nice to me. It was time to put out positions. I played Tight End ,and sometimes running back. Our quarterback’s name was Tivis. Our running backs’ names were Kedranae and Donte. Our center’s name was Jordan. My number was 85.
Now it was time for our first game .We were playing against Kenedy Heights Park .We won the coin toss .First play of the game, the quarterback threw me the ball .I ran the ball ten yards ,then I got tackled .The quarterback did a quarterback sneak up the middle for a touchdown! Then it was time for the extra point. The quarterback threw me the ball, I caught it ! The extra point was good. The score was 7-0. It was time for defense. I played defencive end. I got in the backfield and got a sack. The other team did a pass play, I caught an interception, and ran it for a touchdown. The score was 13-0. We missed the extra point. It was the end of the game. Our team won! Our coaches were so proud of us. We won our record was 1-0. That meant 1 win 0 losses.
Trying new things is fun. Like me playing football. Try new things instead of the same old thing. Remember, when you try new things, don’t be shy.
