Highschool Playoffs

I went back to my hometown last weekend so that I could see some of my friends and hang out with them, but I also went back because we had a big playoff game against Nekoosa on Thursday. As I thought we easily beat Nekoosa and went to the second round of the playoffs. We found out on Frideay that we were scheduled to play West Salem who is in our conference and is our biggest rival. So you understand how big this rival is we loss to them twice last season and have been fighthing with them in every sport since. The game started with West Salem running the ball down the field and scoring a quick field goal. They cheered louder then ever but it didn't last long. West Salem kicked the ball off and our kick returner ran it back for a touchdown. Then our quarterback threw a great pass to get the two point conversion. After that West Salem had easy going until the fourth quarter hit. West Salem had built their lead up and was beating us by 17. A lot of our fans and players thought it was over but we marched right back down and scored to bring us within 3 points with 1:45 left in the 4th quarter. We tried an onside kick and West Salem recovered it and ran the clock out. It was dissapointing to all of us who had graduated the year before but it was even more dissapointing to the seniors this year. A couple of my really good friends were very upset so we went and hung out for a while. Although we loss theirs always Basketball season to look forward too.
