My hometown high school football team made it to the State championship a few years ago, in a tournament during which games were postponed a few times due to snow, and didn't have three basketball starters until the first game, they missed almost all the practices and scrimmages, and got off to a slow start that they never recovered from. Whole new basketball coaching staff that year, I felt sorry for them. Parents weren't as forgiving as me.
