When I was a junior, my highschool won the championship. It was kinda cool and kinda annoying.
It was cool because we had the best team and a significant portion of our team was injured and we almost didn't make it there (there was some kinda bizzare 3 way tie where they had to pull a ping pong ball out of the hat with our school colors painted on it as opposed to the other team's so that we could make it there).
It was annoying because the football players got special treatment. I heard of one case where the father of the quarterback got pulled over for some minor infraction like speeding. When the cop saw his lisence, he asked if he was related to the quarterback. When he replied that he was the father, the cop let him off without a ticket just because his son was insturmental in us winning the championship.
Sometimes it stinks to live in a small town where everyone knows, or knows of just about everyone else in the town.
I'm finally back for the summer, although hopefully I'll spend a little more time away from this screen.
