The lights shine in the dome, brighter than ever. The biggest game of my life: the state championship.

My teammates and I have worked so hard: summer practice, morning lifts, and all that have led to this moment.

I put on my helmet before the big game. That helmet feels and smells like six months of dedication, hard hits, and those perfect plays. It’s comforting knowing all I’ve done with this helmet makes it so this championship isn’t a surprise.

In the first quarter things looked grim for the Mustangs: Davies was ahead by one touchdown, but in the quarters to come the Mustangs were lights out. Sheyenne won 24-14 winning the second state championship in school history.

Winning the game was an powerful feeling because not everyone gets to this point. When we were awarded the trophy, the entire team grabbed what wed earned.  The locker room celebration was one to none.
