What is your favorite sports memory?

My favorite sports memory was when Sterling beat the breaks off Madison High School all 4 years of my high school career the part of this memory that lives in my head rent-free is when I pancaked 3 defensive linemen at one time, and I swam on them.  

“As a student-athlete who is being raised in a single-parent household, Diversity is facing obstacles head-on to see who wins the hitting contest. Those who quit when times get tough, lose the hitting contest. Those who face obstacles head-on, win the hitting contest every time”  - Damien Terry
