A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.

At 5: 30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room. My 　36　 　of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 　37　 　with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.

Approaching my locker, I noticed my teammates 　38　 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 　39　 　it were a film of the opposing teams play. Some seemed a bit more 　40　 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 　41　 　what would happen in 120 minutes.

Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how 　42　 　this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams-my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse (冲动) it needed to 　43　 .

At 7: 10 pm, warm-ups finished, we went over the game 　44　 　and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem (国歌) 　45　 that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final 　46　 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he 　　47　 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even 　48　 　the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 　49　 　our way out of the door.

Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 　50　 　of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and 　51　 　my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.

Seconds later, the team ran onto the 　52　 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 　53　 　from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the 　　54　 　of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and 　55　 　that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.
