As i board the bus, i feel a sense of triumph. my team and i are on our way to play in the state championships. i think back to the beginning of the season. we lost our first three games. after the difficult start, no one thought we could come back and win the rest. we proved everyone wrong. we proved ourselves wrong! i find my seat next to my best friend and fellow fullback. we out the window as the bus pulls away. we are off. which best fits in the blank?
