So, I never got to hold the trophy or savor a state championship. And I'll never forget that first bitter heartbreak.
You run your plays, you know your plays, you study your plays, you study the other team, you do as much as you can, you go to practice, you get in shape, you do what you need to do, and then by the time you get to the game, you know your plays, but they have to feel like they're in your bones.
