The Hit That Changed It All

    I remember the day like it was yesterday. It was a warm summers day. My baseball team the Pewaukee Pirates had a tournament that day at Five Fields. We went in there knowing that it would be a tough that we would be playing tough teams. 

We were wining all the games up until the semi-finals. We had to verse Waunakee. They were much harder than the other teams. When we played the first inning we were couldn't make an outs. After the first inning it was 3 to 1. We were starting to lose this game. All of my teammates were thinking that we are going to lose, but after a couple more innings things were looking better, the score was 6 to 5 in the ninth inning. It was the last inning. We ended up tying them 6 to 6. Then we went into extra innings.

They put the California rule into effect. Which means the batting team starts out with a man on 2^nd and one out. We held them for there at bat. Then it was our turn. So my teammate in front of me got to go on second base. So when I was up to bat the first pitch was a ball and the catcher missed the ball so my teammate stole 3^rd. Then he threw it 4 more pitches. Two were strikes and 2 were balls. The count was full. Then pressure was on. I stepped up to the plate, as he got ready to pitch the ball. Then as I saw the ball leave his hand I thought about all the time that is I had let my team down but not doing what I was supposed to do. But this time it was going to be different. Then as I swung the bat as hard as I could,  I heard the pop of the bat as it hit the ball. It hit the ground and when right to the short stop I started to run to first I while I was watching my teammate run to home plate. I looked at him when he slide into the plate. As I stood on first base my team watched suspense, the umpire said safe as I cheered for joy. After my coach ran towards me and lifted me up onto his shoulders as my team cheered for me. So even though we went on to lose the champion chip game I still felt proud about myself for helping my team. 

My Favorite Football Player

My favorite football player is Aaron Rodgers because he is the QB of my favorite team the Green Bay Packers. He can throw fast and accurate to the WR. Another reason he is a good QB is because he is a great leader. Also he always thanks the fans and always is respectful to the other team which gets my respect.

My favorite video game

My favorite game is Prototype 2. This game is good because of its graphics and its storyline. In it action, drama, suspense and because its brand new. The main character has to deal with him losing his family and friends because of the plague. The people who made this game must have put a lot of detail and effort into this game. Because this game just came out not many people will buy this but when it is out for a long enough time everyone will learn the good effects of this game.

My least favorite food

My least favorite food is onions. Because the first time it had it tasted horrible. Also it is crunchy and hard. After you are done eating it you get really bad breath. You also have to cut open the onion before you eat it and if some of the juice comes up and hits you in the eye it will sting for hours.

Sports Car Winner

Lamborghini Murcielago because it is fast cool and it cost a lot. Also because it has a high rate of speed at 221 mph and because it is so small it has very little blind spots. It is better than most cars like the Dodge Challenger because of its ability to go from 0 to 60 faster or the Ferrari because of its v12 engine and its ability to make sharp turns and quicker shifts. Also it has its 631 horsepower.  The interior feels like a dream. The outside is built for speed because of its curved shape and aerodynamics.

The Shoes That Changed Every Thing

      

Just think running up and down a sleek wooden floor dribbling a basketball, shooting and passing the ball to your teammate. Well in the book “Red-Hot High-tops” that exact thing happens to a girl named Kelly Roberts, but whenever she gets the ball she always freezes up.

Until one day after a game something in her locker will change her life and the others around her. The readers will learn that it’s not what’s on the outside but it’d what’s on the inside

Kelly would play every game the same, she would freeze up. Then after a tough loss to another team, she finds a pair of red Nike high-tops. She asked her teammates around her to see if the shoes were anyone’s. They all said the same thing, so she figured she would

try them on. To her surprise they fit perfect! After that game she could not stop thinking about those shoes.

The next game she asked the coach to see if she could where them for the game. She said yes but she said that if she wore them she would have to make at least one bucket. Her teammates where a little jealous though that Kelly got to where her new shoes, and that the other girls didn’t get to where some of the new stuff they wanted to where.

She was put in the game halfway through the first quarter. She threw in the ball to continue the game. Just seconds later she was open at the other teams bucket. Her teammate passed her the ball. As she was waiting there with the ball. She thought then and there that she would freeze up. But then as she heard the pounding of basketball shoe behind her Kelly got enough courage to shoot the ball. As the crowd and her teammates watch the basketball fly off the backboard into the hoop.

The point of this story is that it’s not what’s on the outside it’s what is on the inside. I believe that Kelly learned that lesson in the whole basketball season.
