Week 6 theme

The room was hot, a little too hot. It smelled of sweaty socks and salty tears. Big, red lockers coated the walls from top to bottom. The room was very somber. In one corner was a group of girls who sat on the floor gripping their heads. Across the solid wood bench was another girl face down crying. I looked across the room over and over again noting all of the details to keep my mind of the inevitable. Small black locks hung from the lockers. Across from me sat a big goalie bag; dirty and stunk of pure sweat. Possibly where the majority of the stench was coming from. On the wall was a huge mural of past successes. Team photos holding the state champion trophy, probably about 40 different articles of success plastered onto the window like a shrine of our program. Photos of our team from past years celebrating, screaming with happiness and now this- a room full of crying high school girls who would no longer have the chance to put their memory on the wall of fame.
