I played football 4 years, basketball 3 years, and I split time between baseball and track. We didn't have a golf team at the time, but I wish we would have had one.

Ran track and Cross Country..Tall skinny guy. But hated Basketball, don't know why.

I ran the mile and two-mile in track, and cross-country is 3 miles.

My best mile time was 4:52 seconds, and I was not the fastest on the team. :shock:
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

Yeofoot was like me. He went to a small school and they would let you play different sports. My graduating class was 104.

i did band and volleyball. also did gymnastics but not thru the school. uneven bars and balance beam :D i'd prolly land on my head if i tried it now though!
after watching my girls play basketball, i wish i had played that too. it was just starting out to be a girls sport where i lived and my friends and p.e. teacher tried to get me to play but it looked too scarey and sweaty. and our high school gym was old and kinda stinky anyway. :lol:

Yeah, that is a big difference. More competition for spots. My Dad graduated from Lancaster, Oh in 1950 and his grad class was over 800. He played Basketball and Baseball for them and then later for OU.

I played:

1. Baseball from t-ball and all through high school.
2. Soccer in jr. high
3. football in jr. high
4. wanted to play basketball so bad...tried out every year....was the last person cut three years in a row (10-12 grade).
5. was in band 6th grade through college (hey...marching band is not easy....more physical then you think....especially on the college level)
