2019 has been a good season for Silver Creek’s football team and being part of the journey was memorable. Because this is my last year in high school, I wanted to join the team. It was a choice that I don’t regret. Only losing to Overfelt while,winning every game before and after,the season record was at 6-1. This meant the Raiders had a chance at making the playoffs
I was so confident that we were gonna make it to playoffs. But it all came down to one last game, our senior night against Branham. Ending the night with the final score 16-8, in favor of Silver Creek, meant we had a shot at going to playoffs. Unfortunately, it came down to tie a of 6-1 between three schools in the same division and those three schools were Overfelt, Branham, and Silver Creek.
The league decided to do something new instead of giving all teams a chance to play in the playoffs. They decided to tally up the top three schools’ points, wins, touchdowns, tackles, basically everything involved with football. Unfortunately, Silver Creek didn’t it to the playoffs make by half a point, which meant we were weren’t going to playoffs. The fact that the other teams showed their sportsmanship through their empathy and were hoping we would make it because we always put up a fight.
Everyone at Silver Creek had heard the news that the football team didn’t make it to playoffs. Just like the team and coaches they were mad at the way it had ended, instead of making it all the way we felt robbed. But with time we quickly got over the fact that we felt robbed but were happy with the end result of the great season.
