The Sky Above, The Field Below Poem by Eduardo Torres

We gather around listening to coaches speech
with our stomachs twisting and turning.
players tapping their cleats on the locker room floor
with anxiety filling up their bodies,

The moment arrives the lights are on theres no turning back. The crowd roars with cheers stomping their feet on the stands waiting for the opening kick off.

Players jumping up and down nodding there heads yelling 'lets go! '
The ball is kicked a wave of enemies come swarming in at the home team.

The first hit is made the crowd goes insane the players run up to the player who made the tackle and yell his name giving him slaps across the helmet.

The 2 minute warning comes into play the teams fighting their hardest for the final 2 minutes with a
tied up game
the ball is snapped the quarterback drops back
the fans holding there breathe waiting for a play to happen
the ball is thrown up in the air
fans players coaches holding their breathes waiting for the ball to come down

Time expires,
the catch is made in the end zone
hearing the announcer yelling 'Touchdown! '
the crowd goes wild
while the away team stays silent as of the fans and coaches,

Roaring Fork Football will forever live the sky above and the field below.
