The #1 seeded team in CIF Division II moments before the quarterfinal game against their archrivals. The winner goes on to play for 1st place on Saturday. It’s a big damn deal, people.
The scoreboard after the conclusion of an intensely-fought, well-played game where the winning goal was scored with 21 seconds left.
The MVP of the game? He wears cap #2 and his name rhymes with Manger Roy.
It was a nail-biter to the very last second—which came shortly after the player at left stole the ball from the opposing team in front of our goal.
Social Butterfly cried. It was everything a championship playoff game should be. Win or lose on Saturday I could not be prouder.
That is absolutely fantastic!

A quick question that I've been wondering about since I popped in this morning.
Is that a typical score for a water polo game? I've always thought that water polo scores would be like hockey or soccer scores -- in the single digits. But, honestly, I don't really know much about water polo other than the very basic basics.

How completely thrilling! I am so happy for him--for all of you!

That is so GREAT! I think sometimes it is harder to be a spectator than a participant. Nothing to do with all the pent up adrenaline!
