Day 22 - The Team

Some people that I know LOVED high school, it was their glory days and they would love to go back and do it all over again.  Whenever I hear something like that I cringe.  Yuck.  I would NEVER go back to high school.  It was so awkward and annoying.  There was one thing that I enjoyed about my high school years - basketball.  It was fun.  I wasn't the best player on the team, but I had fun.

I'm #12, because of my birthday (not because it was John Stockton's number).  It was a blast, and our team was super good.

I was a guard (because I'm so short), and the way our coach described me was as follows:  "She's not the fastest player on the team, but she anticipates."  Hey, I'll take any compliment I can get.

Look at Holly!  She had long hair.  We had some really good times.

And we even won most of our games.  We were region champs.  We got to cut down the nets after the game:

So although, I would never in my life go back to high school, I can look back at basketball and smile because of all the great times we had!

I loved watching you play. It was a fun time for me. Being your mother, I thought you were the best. Memory lane has been quite fun for me during this too.

Abby and I were involved in two seemingly opposing winter sports in high school. She played basketball while I wrestled. We always go back and forth about what if Jeremy wants to play basketball or wrestle. She says I can't try and coerce him in any way. I'm happy with whatever as long as he's happy with it. I'm glad you had basketball though sweetheart.

I liked getting out of school to watch you play too. You know it's because of you that I tried out for basketball. You were like my idol! You were THE coolest and I wanted to be like you. My number was 12 because yours was too. I thought you were the best player! So those were some GREAT times for me as well!
