Writing Assignment # 2

A freshman at North Harford High School made the Hawks varsity lacrosse team Monday in Pylesville, Md.
“I was just really excited,” said Brittany T. Boden, 15, Pylesville. “I didn’t expect to be put on varsity as a freshman, and just I’m really looking forward to this season so we’ll just have to see what happens.”
Boden has played offense as either an attackman or midfielder for seven years. She also currently plays for the elite club team North East Maryland Select (NEMS) in the summer, and travels to tournaments in the surrounding Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania area.
“At the NEMS tournaments there is a lot of tough competition and playing those teams really makes you step up your game and that has definitely made me a better player, Boden said.”
Kids who are involved in sports at a young age and are faced with tough competition on a regular basis have the potential to become very talented athletes.
