“Goal!”, screamed the lacrosse ref. Everyone comes running at me screaming Wahoo! I can't believe it I just scored the winning goal. My face is red with happiness. After the game  when I got home I got cake and ice cream for making us go to nationals. Oh I totally forgot you don't even know who I am. I am Danny and I love lacrosse. My best friends are Landon and Jack, we play on the Red Lizards. Well lets return to the story.

After Landon, Jack and I got off the bus we went to our lockers. “Hey, stupids’ Called out the bully Kyle. Mat and Mike laughed at us.

They push each one of us to the lockers, then  I scowled “what do want.”

“Oh you think you will last long in nationals think again scrub.” Kyle stated with anger.

“See you at the tournament tomorrow  Kyle” I answered with a grin on my face.

“Who we playing Danny?” Questioned Landon.

“The Hawks I think.” I answered unknowingly.

“Well it is almost time.” Explained Jack. By the time the we finished warming up and getting ready we out to the field to play.

“Here.” screamed kid on my team trying to get the ball. The kid who had the ball, dropped it and Jack picked up and scored. As I ran out on the field to play I could smell corn dogs and food I got hungry but I put my mind back onto the game. By the  time the quarter ended the score was 9-7, the Hawks were winning by two. By the time the half hit we had the lead by four. Now it is the fourth quarter and I have the ball and the score is 23- 24 Hawks with ten seconds left I took seven steps which equalled seven seconds and shot and SCORED! I tied it up. With two seconds left and a false start by the other team, we have the ball. Landon shot the ball  right when the whistle blew and scored, we had won the game everyone tackled Landon and picked him up and carried him laughing and cheering with happiness to the tent.

At the tent everyone was pushing and shoving and then BANG! Landon had blood  trickling down from his head  Landon fell to the  hard ground. Landon is on the ground not getting back up and then our team turns to the guy that hit Landon in the the head  like in one of those scary movies.

Coach Tron Spoke sternly “No don't do it.”

“Ok.” we sighed. As we are walking back from what had happened over there Jack and I look back the kid is running from the spot while  grinning at us.

I look back at where Landon was and he is getting carried off in a stretcher. Jack and I  run back over to see what was going on with him with the last breath until he fainted Landon told me “ don’t let those Bandits jerks win ok Danny do tha. . . .”

While my team and I were sitting at the tent eating beef jerky after what had just happened, we started talking about the Bandits. “Hey you guys do know that the Bandits never lost a game, right.” explained one of my teammates.

“Ya.” everyone else replied with disappointment.

“Hey everyone pick your heads up! Would Landon want us to quit and not try our hardest! NO I DON’T THINK SO! NOW COME ON WE HAVE TO WIN! 2nd PLACE IS NOT AN OPTION! NOW LET ME HERE IT LIZARDS ON THREE. ONE. TWO. THREE.” screamed I.

“LIZARDS!” cheered my whole team.

“Hey  Sherbert!” Shouted one of my teammates. Oh ya I forgot to tell you this that is my nickname because of my short body, my orange and my longish hair.

“What dude.”  I asked back

“What about tonight we have to do something this our last tournament until next season.” asked one of my teammates.

“Hey after this we should hang out my hotel.” Stated I,”OK.”

“Ya sure.” Everyone replied

“HEY SHRIMP!” Shouted Kyle.

“WHAT.” I Screamed back.

“You not your team but you will never beat me in a brave heart,  you suck at lacrosse stupid.” sternly stated Kyle.

“Bring it on.” I sternly replied.

“You have already lost you just don’t know it.” Kyle whispered to me. Kyle walked away while looking back at me and screamed “Better watch your back looser.” 

After our last game we checked the schedule board to see who we were playing the championship. “It was. . .  Kyles team oh no and Kyle is after me” Danny thought to myself. When my team and I got back to my hotel we went into the pool and played chicken. After we back into my room, watched movies and played on the xbox, I had brought with me. Then we went to our separate hotels and went to bed. The next morning we all meet up at the tent and waited for our coach to get there.

“Hey boys you ready for Kyle’s team?” Asked Danny

“YA!” Screamed the whole team.

As we all to the dome to the field, Jack and I see Landon walking by coach, so Jack and I walk over to him and he asks in a quiet voice, “Are you ready to win boys.”

“what are you doing here Landon?” asked Jack.

“I don't worry I am just watching not playing and guess who gets to coach. ME!” replied Landon.

“Oh great we got you as a coach.”  Danny joked. Landon and Jack laughed.

When we ran out as they called our name we started  playing when I got put out there I had to go up against Kyle on Attack and he scowled at me,”Better watch your back.”  I ignored him and turned back to the  game. “Tweet” the whistle went. Jake wins the faceoff and then he passes to me. When I got it Kyle came running at me and I shot as he hit and then all hear GOAL by the ref. The crowd was going crazy over it and then when I got off the field Kyle, matt, and mike look at me and  I get this look like I am going to regret it now, but the thing is I don’t regret it I am very happy for that goal. After the second half was over the score was 4-7 we were losing. I look up and I screamed who are we and everyone screamed back LIZARDS. When the 3rd ended then we had tied it 9-9. In that moment when I saw the opportunity  to win I took and messed up we ended up keeping the tie into a brave heart and that's when it hit me why don't I do to redeem myself.

“Hey coach can I do it.” I asked

Landon replied “Do it coach was going to let me pick anyways so you.” 

It was a one v one, me v kyle finally I get to show this jerk who's boss and show him once and for all. I win the faceoff and I run down the field and shoot but the goalie saved the ball from going into the net. When the goalie cleared it I picked it off and scored. WE HAD WON THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! As I try to get off the field everyone takes me for the win. Once

I broke free I looked for kyle to tell him good game and I saw him. He walked over to me and said
“maybe you aren't that bad after all.”

“you to.” I replied.

“Well go get your trophy danny and all that stuff. Also if you want to try that brave heart with me again just ask because I am ready to kick your butt this time.” Kyle replied.

They finally called me YES. “Congratulations danny you deserve it.” coach Tron replied. That was the best lacrosse tournament ever! Can’t wait for the next one.
