Kylian Mbapp’e By Vikram Kelly
How cool would it be to be signed to a national soccer team when you are just 19 years old? Well, Kylian Mbapp’e did just that! He plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the forward position, along with famous teammates Neymar Jr. and Edinson Cavani. He also plays for France’s national team. Mbapp’e won the best young player award in 2018 during the World Cup and the Champions League. Mbapp’e is my favorite player because he is fast, young and talented.
Mbapp’e’s parents immigrated from Africa to France, where Mbapp’e was born. His fam- ily is quite athletic. His mother was a professional handball player. His father was previ- ously a soccer coach and is currently his agent. He has a little brother, Ethan Mbapp’e, who plays for PSG under Twelves and an adopted brother, Jire’s Kembo Ekoko, who is also a professional soccer player and plays for Bursaspor, a Turkish team.
Mbapp’e became the youngest player on the French national team to score a goal in the Mitchell Trubisky 2018 World Cup. He’s also the second teenage player to score in a World Cup final; the other being Pele. Mbapp’e is one of the fastest players in professional soccer. Many teams By Ren Opdyke and Charlie Edwards were vying to recruit Mbapp’e at the age of 16. He ultimately chose Monaco. After join- ing Monaco, he was traded to PSG in 2018, making it the second most expensive trade, Mitchell David Trubisky was born on for 128 yards a touchdown and an inter- reported to be as much as 180 Million Euro (approximately $205 Million U.S. Dollars).

Cody Parkey By Nate Westover
Cody Parkey is a professional football player for the Chicago Bears. The kicker for the Chi- cago Bears is very cool. One of the most amazing thing about him is he hit the upright four times in ONE game and missed the game winning field goal on the Bears against the Phil- adelphia Eagles. Cody Parkey is 6 feet tall and 190 pounds. Cody Parkey went to Auburn University and has been on four different teams in the NFL. He was on the Philadelphia Eagles for two seasons 2014-2015: he played that season where he played all 16 games and he went 10-10 from 20-29 yards, 14-16 from 30-39 yards, 4-6 from 40-49 yards, and 4-4 from 50+. He also made it to the Pro Bowl that year for the NFC and did decently well. Then he played on the Cleveland Browns for one year, then the Miami Dolphins and now he plays for the Chicago Bears. When talking about the game the Bears lost to the Phila- delphia Eagles, Cody Parkey says “It’s 100% my fault that they lost”. Surprisingly enough Cody Parkey scored 111 points playing on the Bears in 2018. That’s pretty good, at least for him. In Cody Parkey’s career he has 446 point in his whole career in the National Football League. (including the playoffs and this year.) Cody Parkey was doing really well before he went to the playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He was 4-6 which is pretty good for him. Obviously he will get better, but this season he was probably one of the worst in the league. I hope Cody Parkey will get better but for now--we can only hope. According to ESPN Cody Parkey will be released from the Bears although he’s technically still a part of the Bears. The people that decide are: the McCaskey family, Ryan Pace, and Matt Nagy. Also the fans “HA” have already decided that he’s not coming back.
I hope you liked the story and will read more into Cody Parkey. Obviously there are more things about Cody Parkey that I didn’t list but I hope you enjoyed what I did.
