"Stadium vs. Bellarmine"
On the bus
Friendly
chats about different allies
Christel
telling us to pick up our spares
A
few do homework
Some
sleep
Others
listen to music.
Jana,
last year a Bellarmine bowler
Complains
about not being able to bowl.
She
also complains about last year's Bellarmine team
Not
really wanting to see them again.
Only
10 girls can play
At
Narrows
Bellarmine
is late
Or
rather just some of them.
Jana’s
a little mad because she can’t bowl
Everyone
else can’t wait to start.
We
do the “Go tigers!” cheer
The
match begins
High
fives for good or bad
“Nice
try.”
"Good
job.”
Support
from the ones who can’t play.
Bellarmine
wins the first game.
They
get tired
We
get warmed up.
We
beat them the second game.
Their
sprits go down
Ours
go up with hope.
The
tie breaker game
We
tried our best
And
beat them again.
The
team is relieved
Commander
says “Good job.”
The
team does a “Nice job, Bellarmine cheer”
Then
we split up.
Everyone
says goodbye
Some
head for the bus
Some
head for their parent’s car.
Each
girl relieved
Our
first match is over.
Final
score:
Stadium 2 Bellarmine 1
I wanted to capture the one thing through my high school years that
made me happy.
