Don't forget the ever popular "highly competitive."

PS - I wasn't sure where to put the (.) so I put it inside the quotes!

Um, so where does the sentence, "Don't forget..." end? I thought Lord Byron would say the period would go outside the quotation marks, since there is no sentence inside the quotation marks?

I also had a really fun Freshmen game between two good teams. After a string of really boring games it was really refreshing to have a good one. I had a couple of varsity game duds and I will take a fun lower level game anyday. Crowd was triple that of the JV game which was before. Little chirping by the coaches and players from both sides told us good game while we were leaving the floor. Funny moment was the coaches making a couple good natured cracks at each other during the game. And a couple of kids doing clock for the first time but they did a great job. It is kind of risky using kids but most of the time they seem to do well and better than teens and some adults.

Everyone has a first time. If they come back for a second time, then it is probably the makings of a good timer down the road.

In fact, I subscribe to the principles articulated in BillyMac's most recent missive on this topic.

From what I remember from English 101 you're correct (but I'm not an English major, so I may be wrong).
