I was working a Jr.High game from Trail, well on the side line, when the direction was reversed and passed directly over my head. As I half-turned and accelerated to follow the ball, I saw one of those little kids standing behind me.
Had I not rotated my 190# in a tight 180 twist, I would've crushed that kid and remained standing. But, instead I was sitting on the floor and sliding backwards for about 10 feet.
The laughing and applauding fans must not have realized what a hero I was.
