FOOT. ball
Alameda JV vs. Pinole JV
At the pinole game i did hell of good! i was just feeling it that Friday night. that night i threw for a little over 125 yards in 9 completed passes and i had three touch downs. i also ran for 1 touchdown and about one hundred yards in 15 carries. Over the length of the game i had a total of 225 all purpose yards.
Big Sam Rouser. Sam even though just coming off of his back injury, only one week back, led the whole team in tackles. he had four unassisted tackles and 3 assisted. the closest one to him was marlisemo.
Marlas Wilson Foster. He was an animal! he had 3 sacks. and two tackles behind the line of scrimmage.
Tomas! Tomas Martinez Granata is the best kicker ever. he was three for three and was about to win us the game but Zac dropped the field goal snap. usually i am in for Field goal but i was compromised on the fact that my leg could not move. Tomas did not only give us three points but he saved two touch downs by tackling the kick returner and the punt returner when he was the last line of defense.
Nate Ruttan. My man Nate Ruttan is a monster! he had like three tackles and a game changing interception in the first quarter. with out Nate we would not have been in the spot we were in in the fourth quarter.
Zac Alfers, arguably my favorite wide receiver had a pretty good game but sadly not his best. he had five grabs for a total of thirty four yards with two touchdown catches in his pocket.
Frank Mai. who is my tight end and a key factor for us. he had fifty yards in 3 catches. Jack Kelly with only one reception caught a 40 yard throw down Field from me and maintained balance to keep his feet in bounds.

I shoulda been out there...
Friday. i was so juiced for my game, all day!! we all tthought it was a sure win but it never can be that easy. when i got to school everyone was getting hyped about the game because it was like we were playing for the play offs. i just had a feeling something wasn't right about the up and coming game. i don't know but i think i was nervous. maybe even scared. i was not the only one who felt this way either. Zac and frank (like my two best friends on the team felt like something wrong was going to happen.just like we expected, something very bad did go wrong. it was my leg.
it first happened near the end of the first quarter. i was running a quarter back keeper to the left side of my line and i broke for like fifteen yards but when i was tackled a kid chopped me in the thigh which gave me like a really deep bruise. it was like a cheep shot but it was not called. the bruise would end up being the biggest problem in the game, for our team. because it was going to pretty much determine the outcome. whether it be a win or a lose.
in this case it was a lose because through out the game i was chopped more and more but i just played threw it because my team needed me on both sides. the last time i was chopped, in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. it had a devastating outcome. i had to come out because i was not able to even walk, let alone run on my own strength. i was still fighting to get back out there on the field so i could just fight threw the pain but they held me down. they gave me medicine that knocked me out about an hour later and i slept deep into he next day. when my team needed me the most, i wasn't there... no matter what i accomplished that night, i should havebeen out there.

Annotating that chick
(1.) […] In almost every audience I address, there is someone who will suggest that racism is a thing of the past. There is always someone who hasn’t noticed the stereotypical images of people of color in the media, who hasn’t observed the housing discrimination in their community, who hasn’t read the newspaper articles about racial bias in lending practices[1] among well-known banks, who isn’t aware of the racial tracking[2] pattern at the local school, who hasn’t seen the reports of rising incidents of racially motivated hate crimes in America—in short, someone who hasn’t been paying attention to issues of race. But if you are paying attention, the legacy of racism is not hard to see, and we are all affected by it.
(2.) The impact of racism begins early. Even in our preschool years, we are exposed to misinformation[3] about people different from ourselves. Many of us grew up in neighborhoods where we had limited opportunities to interact with people different from our own families. When I ask my students, “How many of you grew up in neighborhoods where most of the people were from the same racial group as your own?” almost every hand goes up. There is still a great deal of social segregation in our communities. Consequently, most of the early information we receive about “others”—people racially, religiously, or economically different from ourselves—does not come as the result of firsthand experience. The secondhand information we do receive has often been distorted, shaped by cultural stereotypes, and left incomplete.
In my annotations, i mainly underlined and then go back over it a few times so i could highlight. i use red, blue, and yellow. if its necisary and i need more colors i go over with two colors to make a new one. for things brought up about: her opinions i would hilghlight in yellow; things i did not nessisarly agree with, i would highlight in blue; things that she has come accross in her work, i would underline in red/ pink. And for all the other color combinations that i needed i would just combine as i was going.
