Kinda Like Football And Wrestling

There was a school sport going on that seems like a cross between football and wrestling, or jug (from the movie "The Blood of Heroes" where they had to get the dog skull on the stick) and rugby.

Anyway, the way it went was that there was a mat that we were on (it was blue like the wrestling mats at school), and it was one on one, (like the wrestling) and I think we even had wrestling suits on. My opponents were always blue.

Anyway, what you had to do was get the ball (which reminded me of a football) and get it across the scoring line behind your opponent, and if they tried to hold you back, you just had to barrel through them. So in the first one that I did, I got the ball and just pushed right through the guy that I was against. I knew he was just an ordinary competitor, but I was using my 'spiritual energy' to tell myself I could get through him without a problem, and also putting a 'shield' around me to make it so that I could just concentrate and go right on ahead.

Then it was almost immediately after, and I was at a second competition, and I was on the mat with the guy I was going against (who was in blue and had on one of those things to cover your ears so they don't get hurt in wrestling) and I knew that he was really good at this whole thing, but I knew deep down that I could beat him as long as I concentrated as before.

I had the ball, and went rushing at him, but he did something that knocked the ball out of my hands and back close to my bounds. I knew, though, that if I could keep him from getting the ball and I still pushed him through his goal line, I could still win. I saw him go back behind me and grab for the ball, and I felt like I was going to lose, but I still had a feeling I could end up winning.
