Sometimes what I like best about facebook is seeing the name of someone I haven't seen in a long time. Like someone I went to elementary or middle school with. I saw one of those kids pop up on my newsfeed today and it brought back a great athletic memory.
I remember playing gym in like 7th grade and I blocked this kids shot so badly. I mean I literally blocked the shot out of the gym. I blocked it out the door and into the snow. That was a highlight of 7th grade gym. (I also remember that Glen Rice was big when I was in 7th grade)
Unfortunately for me I took a shot later that same gym that went into the palm of the most athletic player in the school. I guess karma got me back. The player who blocked that shot also went to play college football for a little bit.
I have a couple highlights in my mind too from College and college athletics. Stopping a Melissa Gonzalez warm up pass with my foot was one of them. Taking a half court shot in Gampel and hitting front rim on my first try is another. Making a three pointer in Gampel is another... The other highlight is my favorite and it was sort of similar to blocking shots.
