Making the All-Star Team

 

   It was a warm summer night of 2013. I was with my parents talking to my coach about who made the all-star team after the championship game in the regular season. We were in the parking lot of  Vilandre Field. I was on the Martin Enterprise team and we played H.P.M. We lost only by a couple of runs.

     We were talking about the game with my coach.

     My mom asked, "Do you know who made the all-star team?"

     Coach said,"Yes and Morgan you made the all-star team too."

     I said,"Yes!"

     My mom said,"This is awesome!"

     I replied,"I know, I've been waiting for a while to find out."

    Then I asked my coach,"Where will we be going?"

    He answered,"We will be going to Wrangle."

     I said,"We will be taking the ferry, right?"

    He said,"Yes."

    My mom said,"That sounds good, do you know when the practices
are?"

    Coach said,"They start in three days for the next two weeks and
there are two in one day, one is 1:30 hours then the other is 2:30 hours long."

    My mom said,"That sounds good."

     I said,"I think this is going to be fun!"

    Coach said,"In two days we will be having a team picture on
    Saturday at 9:00 A.M."

    My mom said,"Well then Morgan you're going to need to get to sleep pretty early on Friday."

     I said,"I know it's going to be kind of tough."
     I also said,"I'm going to need to get a few things ready for the trip."
    Then my coach said,"I hope you're happy and I will seed you in a couple of days."
     I said,"Thank you and have a nice night."
     In the car my mom said,"Oh my gosh Morgan this is exciting, I am so proud of you!"
    My dad said,"Good job this season, you deserved it!"
     I said,"Thanks guys I love you."
    My parents both said,"Good job making the team! You were great this season!"
   Right after we got home, I called my grandparents down in Chico,
California and told them that I made the All-Star team and they
said great job! We had practice six days a week for two weeks and
then we left for Wrangle on the ferry. When we got to Wrangle it
was about 1:00 A.M. so we went to bed, then we got up around 9:00 in the morning the same day, because we had opening
ceremonies. We were first in the round-robin and we beat Juneau
in the Championship game to bring home the banner. After a one
weeks rest, we got to play A.O.R.A.L.L.(Abbit O' Rabbit of
Anchorage Little League). They expected to win the first three
games. The first game we lost, the second game we won, the third
game we lost, the fourth game we lost and they got to go to
California. A.O.R. expected all the games to be really easy, but we
were more tough than they expected. One thing I learned was if
you try hard enough, you can always be successful for the goal you
set.
