One Play and A Punk - Knowledge Is Great

There was a discussion going on in the field, the black referee signalled a time out and I began talking to my co-commentator, who nodded his head, "The Western Coach is a great guy."

On the field the referee signalled a kick off and I watched a man with an orange cap and shirt and dark trouser walk across the corner of the field, just then a flag was raised, "I think Western mid fielder just grabbed the Eastern," and he continued to nod his head.  The score was

                           EST            WST
                           =============
                             10          0

Taking the short pass the receiver turned into magic, "Short Pass, Long Game," the Easterns were on top of it. East were driving down ten nothing and the game continued, Zack Cuha was their star player, the game was being at the College of Canyons, Conference of Championships.
 Cuha made another stunning receive, there were 26 seconds left in the opening quarter.  The West were at the 10 yard line and another great pass they would be at the 1 yard line, and just then the referee signalled the end of the quarter.

"This game could go to the wire," I said, the West had a great line up and we continued to talk especially about Dawson,"What a great player, skill and talent, his speed is a weapon that is hard to ignore and had a great year for the Easterns.

In the mean time, the game started again and the Western had a touchdown, "Easterns driving down 10 to 6."  Chris Solano the quarterback for the Eastern could just pull it away, great player, he could do it on his own, just then Cypers made an incomplete on the field on a pass from Solano.

"The Western were looking desperate for the equaliser," just then Solano made a great interception and made to the 36th yard line.  Randy my co-commentator continued on the praises of Solano and I concurred, "He is a big guy and can run, the biggest find for the Easterns this season.
"There you go, Kahn caught a pass from Solano at the 5 yard line."
They made it to the 3 yard line on the next move, the Westerns looking worried, perhaps they could make an interception and move the ball the other side.  This time Solano was intercepted and they moved back to the 15 yard line.
"Another touchdown, and who is that, Nick Jones, a one handed masterpiece."
                         
                             EST WST
                          ============
                            13           10

As the game moved on, still in the second quarter, the teams went for a recess and the West were looking confident enough now, "Game Down to 3 points now."

Just then the Eastern coach came online for an interview,"Solano is very dangerous, big guy, and can also tuck and run.  The new quarterbacks in the college arena can run, this guy is 6'4" and I am sure he will put some beef on himself when he gets to college."

"I think, Randy, what they really have to do, is to get this game in order, the Easterns are really looking and good and over a period that I have watched them they have always maintained the advantage once they get a headwind."

"Well, Jake, you might have got this one wrong, see there is probably a chance here for the Westerns, you have to give them credit for carried this game so far."

                            EST WST
                           ==============

And the game carried on as we continued to talk ................

I was ON with this idea of commentating, I like it and glad that I had got this opportunity to comment (http://www.knowledgeisgreat.in) for College Game, it was small but a great beginning, "Destination UK," my mind snapped back at me again, and I looked over again, I was getting more and more talkative these days, arranging money for the school was hard work, whichever school it would be, it didn't matter, I was just thinking this one through and I remembered from what I had been told at British Council, The Media School at Bournemouth University for the Radio BA (Hons) course.
