The wind was blowing in my face.I just ran faster.Alex was to my right with the ball.Five defensive Phantoms came plowing from the goal to intercept Alex.I was next to the goal.The goalie didn't notice me.All of the other players were on the other side of the field. The scorewas 4-5 for them. there were ten seconds left in the game.I was wide open.
Wait, rewind, start over.
Ok, I'll start at the beginning of our story.
It was a beautiful day, a perfect day for a soccer game. We were going to play the Phantoms.the Phantoms were the leading team in this years soccer league. We were second and according to our coach it was up to us to win.
Today was the day, the big one, the championship game of the season.
We were all gathered together in the locker room, and the coach was giving us his beginning-of-the-game-pep-talk, and thats when it all started to go wrong.
"Where's Johnny?" asked the coach
"He's sick" I replied, "He asked me to tell you for him, but I guess I forgot."
"He's sick?!!" raged the coach"I'm gonna kill the little bugger, and gone on the championship game too, our best goalie gone, I hope he...."
When the coach finally calmed down and the game started it all seemed to just get worse.
Rick missed a easy pass, Joey kicked one of our own players head, And Barnymissed everything that came within a yard of a goal.
And then,the wind was blowing in my face.I just ran faster.Alex was to my right with the ball.Five defensive Phantoms came plowing from the goal to intercept Alex.I was next to the goal.The goalie didn't noticeme.All of the other players were on the other side of the field. The scorewas 4-5 for them. there were ten seconds left in the game.I was wide open.
Wait, pause. If your wondering how the score was like it was than you should know,we had the honk-en best team in the state.Besides the Phantoms, of course, Duh.
Anyway, back to our story...
The wind was blowing in my face.I just ran faster.Alex was to my right with the ball.Five defensive Phantoms came plowing from the goal to intercept Alex.I was next to the goal.The goalie didn't noticeme.All of the other players were on the other side of the field. The scorewas 4-5 for them. there were ten seconds left in the game.I was wide open.
Alex tried to pass me the ball, and I know he really wanted us to win, and for Alex, lets face it, that was like giving up an Olympic gold medal for him considering he was a ball hog.But, that small act of (lets call it righteousness) made me freeze.
The game was over, the Phantoms won and we lost, but it didn't seem that way.We were winners because Alex had passed for the first time without being forced.And so to ourselves, even though we didn't have a medal we had won.
