Ok, maybe not Joe Frazier, but grunewar anyhow…..
I just completed my BV Rec schedule and Spring Rec League and was doing my last “hey you” scrimmage game today. 25 seconds left in the game, H down by 4 and V in-bounding the ball at the table. I stand away wide, and in the backcourt to get a good angle. TWEET! Here we go….
V in-bounds the ball near the circle and an H player dives and bats the ball back toward me, I move to get out of the way and V bats the ball toward the center circle, I pivot to get good position and BAM! I feel like someone just kicked me hard in the right calf! I keep my eye on the play and go down to a knee.
TWEET, foul on H! I turn and report the foul and I can hardly walk. I go down on a knee for a good 30 secs. I call both coaches to the table and tell them I’m in a bad way and can barely move, I’ll do my best the remaining 20 secs of the game/season. They understand. Game ends without incident and I hobble off the court.
Table offers me an ice pack, a mom offers me IBUOPROPEN, and the facility manager is filling out a report (apparently required if they hand out ice packs). I hobble to my car and am in the RICE mode now hoping tomorrow is better……doubtful. I may have a Dr in my future.......
My summer season begins 11 July…….I hope!
Did I mention I was by myself this game? No P to bail me out……
