The blanket of blue, spread across the soccer field like the night becomes the dawn. Cheers and cries greeted the players. And so did the pressure of many fans; who had been waiting hours, for these next few minutes. This soccer game meant much more than just few goals and saves. The players represented each and everyone one of us under the authority of our school. We shall not leave empty handed, not today.
The game began with a sudden flash of skill and determination. The ball traveled across the field; changing possession by the minute. Unlike the other team, our aasca boy's main priority was teamwork. A strategical plan unlike any other.
Not below the safety of roof or tent, the athletes were now facing scorching heat and a very demanding crowd. Out in the open and with no place to hide. They did not seem to satisfy our thirst, two goals just wasn't enough. We needed one more goal to seal the deal. One more goal to prove that we've got skill, and if they want some... get some.
A magnificent goal scored by one of our own, hit them right in the gut. As we cheered and applauded our great team. The whistle blew, indicating our victory. The proud cries of many, echoed across. Never before had we been so proud. We threw our arms up into the air with satisfaction and new found respect.
