Pads pop.

Whistles blow.

Points are scored.

Excitement grows.

Fans scream.

Coaches yell.

Players cramp.

It’s hot as hell. 

Willing to win.

Refusing to lose.

Accepting the price.

Paying the dues.

Enduring the pain.

Rejecting defeat.

Fighting back.

When surely beat.

There is nothing like it.

Being part of a team.

Coming together.

And winning a ring.
