Football Madness....

One of the best memories that I have from High School is Football. I was a cheerleader and Football season was my favorite. I loved Football for many reasons.

The beginning of the year is exciting because you have a fresh new team and everybody cannot wait to see if the team is going to be great or not. I love Football because it is a contact sport and you can get into it. I was one of the only cheerleaders who knew how the game was played and I would constantly have to remind everyone what was going on. I used to get so excited when our team was running for a touchdown or kicking the ball for a point. I loved when the announcer came on the intercom and got the crowd into the game.

As a cheerleader, one of my favorite parts of the game was when the boys ran through the banner at the beginning of the game because you could tell how pumped the boys were. They would come blasting through there screaming and yelling because they were ready to play. The other part that I loved about Football season was Homecoming because we have spirit week. This is a week full of school spirit and getting the players ready and excited for the upcoming game. I used to love advancing in the season to get to go on to the championships. I remember my junior year going on a road trip all the way to the mountains to play a game. This was exciting because we got out of school early and everyone came outside to wish the boys luck and waved to them as they drove away.

I love Football weather because in the beginning it is sort of hot and comfortable and near the end of the season we are all bundled up in earmuffs, gloves, and drinking hot chocolate!

The one thing that I do hate about UNCW is the fact that we do not have a Football team. This is a bummer to me because I was so involved in Football throughout High School. I loved the school spirit at my old High School and I just know that we could have a great team at UNCW. I feel as though there would be several fans and several people to support this idea. I would love to see UNCW get a Football team before I graduate.
