A 1st grader took me out!
I was working the last minute of
a varsity boys game one night. I
was at lead and out of the corner
of my eye I noticed a little boy
about 5 or 6 on the corner of
the endline sort of playing and running
around. His family was leaving and
he was just wasting time there goofing
off. It crossed my mind to say something
and have him move back from the court,
but there was less than a minute left
and I didn't think it was necessary.
About the time I thought that, I
felt something strike me
in the area behind your knees. The little
boy had buckled my knees out from under
me, now I'm falling and trying to avoid
splattering him on the floor because he
is still sort of caught up in my legs.
It seemed like I fell for a whole minute. When I
finally got up, the whole gym applauded
and my partners were laughing so hard
we barely finished the game.
At least I can say that the first and only
time I wiped out wasn't my fault or is it
for not making him move???
