G-E-T Homecoming

September 26 was G-E-T Highschool's homecoming. We played our biggest rivals the West Salem Panthers. We lost both games last year, my senior year, because our #2 running back was out with an injury. So last Friday me and all of my friends went back t0 G-E-T to watch the anticipated game. We all met up at the field and started chatting away with what was going on with us now, and that we need to hook up soon. As kickoff began we watched nervously as West Salem stuck with us the first half, we didn't know what would become of the second half because our team didn't have the depth we did last year. They came out for the second half though just untouchable. They stopped West Salem on their defensive posessions and took the ball down to score when we were on offense. We ended the game happy beating West Salem 21 - 10. It was a great game and gave us much to celebrate at the bonfire that night. The next day was the actual homecoming dance where me and my buddies had to go see who was crowned king and queen. So we got there, the gym was hotter than haitis and we were dripping sweat just sitting on the bleachers waiting for cornation. As the homecoming court was announced I hoped for my two best friends to win king and queen. Waiting and waiting, I was hoping Dylan and Brenna would win, but no. The winners were announced as Natalie Thatcher and Jacob Bambenek. I understood why Natalie would win since she is the nicest girl you could ever meet. She has nothing bad to say about anyone, no matter what they do to her. Jacob on the other hand was not that cool. He was a cocky kid who thinks he is the world at football and basketball. Yes I mean he made varsity basketball his freshmen year, but how could you not when you're 6 foot 3 and the rest of your team averages a height of 5 foot 11. Like it didn't help that his father was the assistant coach. All in all though it was a most joyful homecoming, seeing my friends and hanging out with them for the first time in a couple weeks just really made me appreciate what we have together.
