Unforgettable things come in a lifetime a dime a dozen. There a lot of memories I will never forget. My all time unforgettable moment is my first varsity football game. We played Forth Smith Northside. On the bus ride up there, I’m a nervous wreck. Thoughts running threw my mind as fast as a cheetah in the savannah.

People texting me good game bro, I see you Ocho, and more complaints. I told them it wasn’t only me, it was my teammates also.
