Where is my next game?

               Sorry for the delay in between posts but my team has been successfully competing for districts. That’s right my varsity team in its first season of lacrosse has become the champions of our district with two powerful wins over both Killian and Coral Shores. However my team's march was halted by a loss to Columbus in regional, who themselves loss by a landslide to St. Thomas. This just goes to show that no matter how good you are there is always someone better that you have yet to see.

             So with my season over we were told turn in our gear that the school provided: helmets, chest protectors, reversible, and unfortunately our game uniform. Returning all our gear was saddening for me. For everyday of the last few months I had trained, I had sweat, and I busted my tail in that gear it contained the smell of sweat, determination, and pride. Pride in the hard work of those on my team, pride in the name on my jersey that for the first time ever read "Palmetto,” and yet it is over.

             There was something else I realized with the end of my season. Lacrosse is not just my passion it is my addiction. I am a nomad in search of the next game to play, the next goal to stop, the next win to add. As long as the coaches are fair and the players are friendly I would play for any team that let me. The day after our lost and the end of my season I yearned for the next fix. Which I found in the form of indoor lacrosse for high school and younger players that takes place every Wednesday at an indoor soccer park. Then coming in mid-June in a summer men's league that allows players for all ages for high school to full grown adults play for a small fee, this allows for young and old players to shake off some of their rust and get their own dose of lacrosse. After this I will will be going for Team Florida and an assortment of travel teams and camps over the summer. These combined will make so players like me can survive till the seasons begins again and am able to back the jersey that I’m so attached to.
