So last night we had our team party, it was a pretty sad experience.
I had a long thing typed out but I figured nobody will read it so whatever. Basically what's sad is my coach and his family are moving to New York so I'll never see them again. When I went up to get my service pin and what not (pin for those who lettered Varsity last year) coaches wife was saying how the scarecrow was dorothy's favorite and how I'm her scarecrow. When I was getting ready to leave a couple hours later my coaches son (our goalie) hugged me, he's a great guy and has a great lacrosse future...he was the best goalie in our league and is only a sophmore. I'll really miss him and he was definitely one of my favorite people on the team. He was always encouraging to me during the season and was telling me how I should try out in college. Maybe I will. My coach shook my hand, hugged me, and wished me luck in college. He's a great coach, I'll miss him a lot. His wife hugged me and told me how much she loves me and stuff then sent me home with a bag of chicken fingers and a bunch of cake. :\ This women is great, I love her to death. She recently won a battle with breast cancer but even through that she was still a huge asset to our team. Even their younger kids are all awesome. I mean I have so much respect and love for this family, and they're really been a huge influence on me these past two years. It was really a sad night knowing that I'm seeing a lot of these people for probably the last time. Sure I'll come back to some games next year but that won't help with my coach.
Of course in a couple of weeks it probably won't matter, but I never really realized how much this team meant to me. People always ask me how it feels playing for our rival school, and I always say that I don't think about it like that...it's just me playing lacrosse with some friends. I never really appreciated that as much as I do now though.
This actually ended up being longer than my other one, but whatever.
