H12

As a player, I'm undecided on my fave.

Best Moments (player):
---In 6th grade, we had a Junior Pro league of 4th-6th graders that played each other in a short 10-game season, then a double-elimination tournament to decide the champs. Well, the team I was on had NEVER won a game in my 4th or 5th grade years. However, in 6th grade, we went 7-3 in the season and went undefeated in the tournament, becoming the champs. That was incredibly sweet, but then they named me as the MVP, which I didn't expect...I loved the moment though.
---Junior year of school (last year), I was playing football in an away game (at RBS, or Red Boiling Springs...they're our school rival, although they're a weak team), and I got my first INT, and it was a diving one too. I ran back to the side-lines like I won the daggum Superbowl, and I was congratulated like crazy by my team-mates. It was a real magical time for me.
---Last night, we played RBS again, this time at home and it was our HomeComing, too. We were destroying them 51-0, and I asked Coach if I could get a TouchDown pass in, because I'm a Senior Captain and I've never scored before. He tells me he doesn't wanna throw the ball because he wanted the time to run out, but he wanted me to RUN the ball. Keep in mind I'm a 170-pound Wide Reciever and Free Safety, and he's putting me in at Fullback when I've never practiced the play. He called the play to be a Wing Left 22 Dive (naked run up the middle), and I actually got a 15-yard TD out of it! I couldn't believe that.

Favorite Moment (fan):
---Our girl's basketball team (Lady Dawgs) were playing Pickett County (a then-good team), and the refs had been very bad on their calls all night for both teams, then there's a bad-call foul that lets them go for some foul-shots and gets them ahead by one point. We called a time-out with 3.5 seconds left, then we threw the ball in from the half-court line. One of their girls deflected the pass in, and the clock was running...then Deanna (starting point guard) picks up the rolling/bouncing ball and slings it from the half-court line and sinks it right before the buzzer rings! Everyone from Celina (our school's location) got dirty looks on our way out, since it was at Pickett County, in the District Championship I think.
