Re: Your Jersey from School
Our jerseys were recycled (when varsity got new jerseys, jv got the old ones, and freshmen got the old jv) but I still have my old football helmet. I'll post pictures lately.Comment

Re: Your Jersey from School
I too have my old high school football jersey (away) and practice jersey. Now I work and coach at my old high school and the students/players think that it is great I have held on to these. Ours get recycled also, but we always have the option to purchase at the end of the season.Comment

Re: Your Jersey from School
I have my full basketball warm up. They're old School-Sand Knit, rainbow knit. The team got new warm-ups, and the coach gave us the old ones. I DO NOT have my game jersey, but am hoping for a miracle. Sand Knit black mesh with orange and white sewn lettering. Home white with orange and black. "WINTER PARK" "#20".
I thought this was a good thread to revisit and to honor my alma mater, Winter Park High School in Winter Park, Florida. 2010 Florida class 6A State Basketball Champions! First State Championship in Boys Basketball in my school's history, led by Doc's son, Austin Rivers. We're bad...we know it...we let the scoreboard show it...(to you old guys and you very young bucks: that's not "bad" meaning, "bad" but "bad" meaning "good").Comment

Re: Your Jersey from School
My dad kept all of my Little League jerseys. My first year, we were sponsored by a hardware store and wore green shirts. Well my dog was named after Reggie Jackson and my father dug through all of the shirts until he found number 44. I was much older before I knew why
While I love sports, I was about as athletically gifted as a three legged horse. I wasn't fast, I had no endurance and I grew up in a house where two people smoked until I was 24 so running caused me to cough. I say this because I realized my best friend and I were growing apart when we started high school and I wanted to find something we could do together so we could remain friendly. I knew him for 14 years but he and I were very different people when we started high school. It was important enough for me to find some common ground. When he suggested I join the Track Team, I laughed and figured I's sign up and wash out.
My coach was a teacher in our school. He handled the students who had behavioral and emotional problems. He was a hard man who was a long time student of karate. He once had his ass kicked by Chuck Norris in Madison Square Garden. He reminded me a lot of my father, a very strong willed person. For 3 years, 6 seasons, I listened to him tell me how I wasn't doing it right and that I should stop smoking (even though it was my parents not me) and push myself. The one thing he never questioned was the fact I listened to him and my form was excellent.
My senior year our first practice, he named 3 people the Captains. All three were 4 years members and had improved to the point of being competitive. As he named them, each one on order offered the Captaincy to me. It turns out, they had discussed it and felt the fact I had fought for 4 seasons to do my best, had never once missed a practice, was the first one there and the last one home and cheered loudest for my teammates that I was captain for my 4 years already and they felt I should formally get the title. The coach agreed. I thought I was on top of the world, that I could never feel better about myself. That was until I found out my teammates all donated $3 each to buy me my captains jacket.
We couldn't keep our uniforms as it took 5 years of saving the money allocated to us in our budget to get new uniforms but my captains jacket will be hung in my ManCave with my Letters, numbers, awards and Discus.Comment
