@MidAtlanticDad posted:There were 8 players in my son's graduating class who played together all four years. He and one other kid were the only ones who were consistent starters for at least 3 years. I think he'll be lifelong friends with 5 of those guys.
I asked him recently why several of those guys stuck with the team (and maintained their great attitudes), for all those years without getting much playing time. He said something like... Dad, we lift together, practice together, eat together, ride the bus together, party together, live together, study together... the actual playing time is great, but there's so much more to it.
Wish I could like this post more than once.
