Friday Night Lights

By Mercy Buck

Many have heard of the popular sport called American Football

It is a physical, fast, and exhilarating sport with many different rules

Those who play it are of many different ages, both young and old

Youth leagues, school programs, and professional associations

It was created as a hobby, a way to have fun and enjoy watching

But for some it is woven into their everyday lives

Some high school players commit everything they have to excel at football

Blood, sweat, and tears are the least of what is put into the sport

They only have 4 years to win a state championship before their chance is gone

Some people will never get to know what it is like to play under Friday Night Lights
