ObiecT of The game is To win. Winning is knocking off The num, ber one ranked Team. Winning is having The all imporTanT edge aT The end of The game. However, winning is also being able To endure losing wiThouT sacrificing always needed spiriT. As iT seems, losing is The failure of someone or someThing, wiTh The blame being placed accordingly. The guys iusT aren'T Trying hard enough, cry The all-knowing specTaTors. Ya'lI yell, demand spiriT organizaTion leaders. Think as They may, a yell is only effecTive in a confined area, like a gym, where The sound arises in uproarious cries of spiriT. On The fooTball field, wifh iTs vasT air space, The yells are losT and only an exercising of The vocal chords is achieved. While The sTudenT-specTaTor is aT home sTudying, sleeping. or iusT siTTing around, The high school aThleTe is aT pracTice. working his hardesf To achieve perTecTion: drills, drills, and more drills are pounded inTo his disTraughT. weaTher-beaTen body. FooTball and iTs players become one - a single mass of humaniTy possessing deTerminaTion, spiriT and a desire To win. Supporfed by boosTer organizaTions. The Team prepares for a sfrenuous, Trying and somewhaT bruTal conflicT wiTh an equally desTrucTive opposiTion. IT is now ThaT The inTerplay of spiriT is seen. SpiriT in aTTendance, spiriT in yelling and spiriT in The Team, all deTermine The final ouTcome of The game. BuT is iT all worTh iT? Does spiriT really make a difference in winning? Does iT spur The player on To vicTory? MosT say yes. buT declaraTions of apaThy. such as l don'T care, lT's Too much Trouble, and How will iT help me? seem To indicaTe-oTherwise.
