Touch Down!

It was lunch recess at Heathcote Elementary in early November when Sydney and some fifth-grade kids were in the middle of a football game. All of the kids looked so competitive. “HIKE!” one of the fifth-grade boys yelled. The ball flew across the field to another boy “PASS!” Sydney yelled but no one did. The player got tagged with the ball in his hands “Give me a turn with the ball!” yelled Sydney. “ If you were open I would.” moaned one of the players. “HIKE!” yelled one of the players. This time Sydney was open, and the player passed to her, she ran down the field with the ball in her hands. “TOUCH DOWN!!!!” Everyone yelled. Everyone was so happy for her. The player who didn’t pass to her said: “Wow that was amazing!”
