Ten Long Years


As kids, we always dream of being part of high school football. Some as players and others as prideful fans. On Friday, I finally felt that excitement of the "Friday Night Lights"

Walking into the school building, it became a sea of Green and Grey. The North Miami Pioneers were showing their Pioneer Pride for our biggest rival, North Miami Beach. We all know when your team plays their hateful rival, we tend to become more excited and our true spirit comes out. No matter what sport it is, baseball, football, basketball or even tennis.

For ten years, NMB has beaten North Miami. TEN YEARS. That all changed Friday night at FIU Stadium.

NMB had a 22-7 lead with 11 minutes reaming in the 4th quarter and then the rally started. Pioneers came back to score two touchdowns to make the game 22-20 with 6:59 to go. The Chargers got the ball back and ran off 5 minutes of the game clock...

North Miami didn't give up and with the last 30 sec. the team scored the game winning field goal making the sideline and fans go crazy. For the first time in 10 years we beat the chargers! We also won the Inner City Football Trophy.

The next day, I had to go to school for a debate meet and I heard my math teacher say "it was the most amazing thing I ever saw."

Swamp Dogs!

SEC On Top


The first BCS ranking poll came out this week. Not much of a surprise just the Boise State Broncos stand in number 4 while the USC Trojans at 7. We all know some of these teams are bound to lose and these polls will change about every week!




BCS Poll

RK Team W-L
1 Florida 6-0
2 Alabama 6-0
3 Texas 6-0
4 Boise State 6-0
5 Cincinnati 6-0
6 Iowa 7-0
7 USC 5-1
8 TCU 6-0
9 LSU 5-1
10 Miami (FL) 5-1
Say Florida and Bama make it to the SEC Championship like last year, only one of the two will be heading to the National Championship Game in Pasadena. So the best looking team right now is Texas, unless the computers mess up everything like every year.

Angel Motivation

The Angels might have lost the first game of the ALCS vs. the Yankees, but that doesn't mean they will stop fighting. They've been doing it the whole regular season. The motivation, inspiration and strength that their late rookie pitcher, Nick Adenhart, has given them has changed this Angels team.

The Angels have been playing with his jersey hung in the dugout the whole season and it won't stop during the post season. Being one game down in the ALCS, I'm sure they have even more motivation to make Nick proud and come on top and beat the powerful Yankees. The Halos are playing without Nick, but that won't kill them, only make them stronger.






Game 2: Saturday 7:57 PM ET on FOX! Go Angels.
