There we all were sitting in the locker room. Tonight was the most important football game of the season for all of us. We even got to play in a real stadium. It may have only been for 3rd place but it was still important because last year we only got 4th.

Tonite was the night to prove ourselves to our coach. I knew I would have a hard time because this game was after I dislocated my shoulder. It may have been stupid to play after having dislocated my shoulder but I wanted to play I needed to play.

I had never been more excited in my life. I had never played in a stadium before I don't think any of us had. It seemed like no one wanted to play though. No one looked like they wanted to win. But that was all the coach had on his mind. He had to win.

We got on the field and the other team looked twice as excited to be there. They wanted to win this game more than us. Most of our good players were injured even the quaterback. Even though we wanted to win we didnt play like it we played like we didn't care.

I was having alot of trouble doing anything, I couldn't tackle, and I was letting everyone run right past me.

"take me out coach im only hurting the team," Isaid

The coach was very disapointed in me but what was I gonna do my shoulder can just heal it self overnight. By half time we were losing but our team didn't even know the score. We didn't really care.

"I'm very dissapointed in you, you guys are playing sloppy and you need to pick up the pace. If our star players are too scared to get hurt and go out and play then everyone else needs to play harder," the coach shouted.

With that we all just lost intrest in playing. No one wanted to get back on the field.

My shoulder was hurting so much i went over to the ambulance. They told me that my shoulder wasn't even in the socket. I was in excrutiating pain.

I don't think any of us actually knew the score at the end of the game. We didn't care about the score. We just wanted to go out there and play.
