Football and basketball in H.S.

Quit playing baseball preferred fishing in the spring/summer. Then after H.S. what do I do start playing bar league softball. A few years of that and said enough! Didn't like spending my summers on a dusty baseball diamond.

Baseball and Football,i could run like hell back then,but as i got older i got bigger and heavier and slower,lol.

I was an average football player on a great team that was undefeated my last two years of HS. Most games were quite one sided.
Having my left knee dislocated during practice didn’t help my planning ability.
And I ran track, distance races, 1 and 2 mile.

All district football, state qualifier mile in track. They wouldn’t give us our football letter if we didn’t run track. I hated track.

Pitched and played first and third.

That’s because you’re a slope headed retard.

Most Valuable Offensive Lineman 1977. Of course we were a small 1A school.
Posted By: jolintaxidermy Re: High School Sports? - 09/23/21
Played anything I could - basketball, baseball, soccer, golf, even the bowling team. No football, but I would have if we had a team.

That is why I am always on the campfire learning stuff - I didn't get into the hunting game until later in life.

Coaches put my name on the annual plaque that hangs in the school trophy case as best senior football player. I wasn’t the best, but I worked hardest and had the best attitude. Honorable mention all state offensive guard. Defensive captain/called plays as the outside linebacker. We weren’t very good. 6-3 each year. Always lost to the 2 schools in our playoff division that had twice the enrollment that we did.

Basketball through sophomore year. Wasn’t terrible, but preferred hunting and making money farming for my buddies stepdad in the winter. High school basketball coach was mad I wouldn’t play. He got over it and we’d quail hunt together.

Played 1st base. Just as a time filler, never really enjoyed it.

Played golf in college on scholarship. Went as far as taking the PGA’s Player Ability Test (qualified) but was burned out. Picked it back up 5 years ago at age 37. Current USGA handicap is +1.4. I’m slightly better now than I was in college and much longer off the tee. Funny how that happens.

I don't like you.

I was happy to shoot 93 in the wind today

Never played hockey, can’t skate but looks like fun, don’t look sissy to me. I liked hitting people, they do a lot of that.

Football... Nobody has a club.

Baseball... Only one guy has a club.

Hockey..... Everybody has a club.

Golf....Everybody has a bag of clubs.

I didn't play H.S. hockey. Wasn't good enough, but I can now skate circles around the guys that did.

I did pretty well in track and cross country. I wrestled, too, but was way too skinny to do much. I usually got my tail kicked but it was mainly to stay in shape during the winter.

Lol. I was truly blessed as a junior golfer. My father was in outside sales and would cart me around to junior events all over the southeast. I had one of the BEST swing coaches in the south. A gentleman named Travis Hudson. Take a minute and read his bio (he caught in the battle of the Bulge) https://78mag.com/blog/2018/02/life-times-travis-hudson. Once I was 16 I started working at our local country club and did so even through college. As of 9/1 I was appointed to the Board of Directors at that same club. It will always hold a special place in my heart! Now my kids are up on that same driving range learning the game.

I honestly was blessed with extremely good hand eye coordination, enough so to overcome some swing defects. My 7yo little girl is showing signs of it so there’s hope lol. I would like to see what I could do with real practice and not just playing money games 2-3x per week. Hunting really gets in the way of that though.

Stick with it and start tracking stats. Work on ONE thing at a time. Those scores WILL get better!! 👍👍

That 93 was legit, not mulligan stew, and it was from 6300 yard tees, not the geezer tees.

Scorecard had a snowman on a par 5. I just don't have the time or inclination to practice enough to actually be good. And my putting sucks. We played no gimmies today and I missed a few short ones.

But, I kept my cigar lit, so there's that.

I was a better goalie in my 30's than I was when offered a scholarship in high school. Skills are great, but mental toughness takes maturity. Golf requires a lot of mental toughness and the ability to "get it of your own way" on the course.

Played football, basketball and baseball in high school. After moving back home I coached Jr High football for 26 years. Also referee high school basketball and umpire high school softball. Trying to cut back on that now and spend time with the daughter, plus trying to not have Dad and brother do the night time farm chores as much...

Baseball. Third base. Lots of baseball stitch marks on my forearms and shins. 😳
Played third in intramural softball in college and the Navy for many years on the smaller diamond. One day a big guy, about 250 or so, ripped a line drive right at my face. With “cat like reflexes”, 😁 I caught ok but the momentum slammed my glove right back into my nose. Blood all over the place. 😊

High school was the best of times, football players were treated special, dated cheerleaders, those were the days. I’d like to do it again!!
Posted By: test1328 Re: High School Sports? - 09/24/21
Played football through my freshman year and then quit since I liked to hunt a lot more than play football. Played basketball all four years. Was a starter my Senior year. We did better that year than all the previous Varsity teams while I was in HS, but we still weren't that good. Played baseball until I was 16 but our HS didn't have a baseball team, so played Men's softball after that.

Coached all my kids in baseball and basketball from the time they were each 4 years old. My daughter lost interest after 6th grade, but she wasn't that athletic. My two boys, though, they're athletes. My oldest boy plays basketball and baseball. As a sophomore last year, he started on the Varsity basketball team as well as baseball. Made All-State in baseball. My youngest boy is a sophomore this year and he plays football and baseball. He's the starting fullback on the Varsity team and was named Honorable Mention for the All-State baseball team as a freshman last year. He did play basketball on the JV last year also, but has decided to forget basketball this year and concentrate on bulking up for football. They're both better athletes now than I ever was, even when I was a Senior. I'm an assistant coach for the Varsity and JV baseball teams so maybe my talent lies in coaching rather than in playing!

Two time state Champ wrestler. 15:54 5K in Xcountry(placed in top 10 three years in HS). 28.4 pts per game in basketball. 3.2 ppg in hockey. There wasn't much to do in Kenny Lake and we were trained hard enough that it would violate the Geneva Convention.
Posted By: troublesome82 Re: High School Sports? - 09/24/21
I started all through HS, a prep/boarding school. B-ball, F-ball, and baseball. I am paying for some of my coaching advice in F-ball, our bodies were weapons! Played sports in the service , ( I was ordered to volunteer). The most scars and dings I ever got though was playing softball in the mtns!
Posted By: Whelenman Re: High School Sports? - 09/24/21
I ran cross country ( forth n ur team) and the 880 in track. I missed the school record buy a 1/2 second in the 880. Now I have a hard time walking a have mile! 😁😁
Posted By: Crappie_Killer Re: High School Sports? - 09/24/21
All-District D-end my junior year, All-State linebacker my Senior.
All-State Track my Junior year in the 800M Held school record for over 10 years. Blew my ankle up my Senior year playing a pickup game of basketball between math competition test.
All-District first base my Senior year while playing with a bum ankle. Usually played outfield but coach moved me to first so I could still bat while in a soft cast.
Posted By: High_Noon Re: High School Sports? - 09/24/21
I lettered in baseball, basketball, track and golf, but I wasn't a great athlete. I probably would have gotten kilt if my HS had football and I chose to join the team.

I did play on the YMCA football team when I was but a wee lad, though.

I played HS football in Texas early 70's , we were 4A which now is 5 or 6A , back in those days you could hardly loose one game and just win District. to win District my Senior yr. we were both 8-0. we lost 3 games in 3 years, Senior year we were 13-1, whipped Odesa Permian in their Dynasty, Played against Earl the Pearl for Simi Game, we beat him to death, 2 half, he had minus 4 yards rushing at same size he played pro ball,he was just slower as a Pro, Hanco is totally right, we, lived like Kings, wined and dined by Collage scouts, girls, and your name in lights, Nothing like Friday night Lights in Texas, we played football the way it was suppose to be played, we tried to kill you every play, and Collage was much more brutal. 12 Seniors and we all played both ways. Those were the Days, Guns in our Truck windows, No Queers, every body loved our State and Country.
