Wow, talk about uptight. I guess we're to that point in the season.
I had one of those games (two actually, it was a double-header) recently too, Rita. I've actually had a really good season, but it was definitely fun to have a game where things were just fun and easy. It was a girls varsity at a little private school. The other team had been on the bus for three hours to get there. Everybody was just happy to be playing. The ball wasn't very good, but the kids played hard and had fun and the coaches were relaxed and just did their thing. I was with a partner who's about the same level as I am. We drove down together and enjoyed chatting the whole way. Before the first game we did rock-paper-scissors to determine who would toss. Between games we chatted with some of the teachers from the school (who knew that in the middle of Utah there was a prep school with kids from 32 countries?). Afterward we showered in lovely warm water (never a given even at bigger schools) and headed home. What a great night!
