When you think you've seen it all ......

JV game and as Lead I notice a kid moving about the parameter and the collar of his jersey is stuck to his face. Talk about a double take.

I thought for some strange reason he was sucking on the neck - but as the ball is passed to him - and he swings it around the circle - the jersey stays in his mouth.

I continue watching lane activity and then realize what this is - his jersey is stuck on this orthodontic work! Wheet! Stop play.

It took a nano-second for me to remember what braces cost my kids and couldn't imagine the effect a stout press on his jersey would do to this pearly whites.

I didn't want to explain all this to his mother either.

Kid and an assistant coach headed off to the locker room. I don't recall seeing him later because I did want to ask how this happened to begin with.

Resumed play - after sub- on the side.
