The Agony of Defeat

I just caught the end of the University of Buffalo's 1st ever chance to win the MAC Conference Championship. They lost on a last second basket by Ohio. But that's not what this post is about. It just reminded me of my sports career.

When I was a teen, our church participated in the 'Houghton Tournament' every year. Our basketball team finished 2nd every single year I played. It was usually a very close game, but we always lost.

But I've experienced some wins too. Every year at church we did a flag football tournament (great outreach idea btw) and one year my team won. That was cool. In my senior year of high school my team won the Senior Cup floor hockey tournament. That was cool too.

What is your greatest sports victory?

Sports victory?? that would take too long to come up with!!

Sports memories... now there's something I can talk about... there's the time I got slugged in the forehead with a baseball bat in full swing. and then there's the time I couldn't see the softball because of the sun asnd it hit me rather directly and hard smack in the chest. Ahhh... aren't memories great?? Makes me wanna find a softball team to join
