Coming in the Top 6 is!WE MADE IT!! For the 1st time since 1982 Tampa Catholic's Girls Cross Country team qualified for the State finals!
You know what's so cool? The girls are very excited about it. The school is excited about it, and the coaches are excited about it! We did not win the Regional Meet, no one, including the coaches thought we would, but we came in 5th place, and top 6 teams qualify.
Fifth may not seem that great, but last year we were eleventh. And you may want to ask the Bartow Yellowjackets how good fifth is, sadly, they were 7th, the first team out of the money. You know what I love about us and don't like about some of the other teams? We understand. We understand that sports are supposed to be fun, they are not life and death. My final advice to the girls before the race start? This race is not important. This race does not make you a better person. Have fun!
I only wish my dear friend who coaches the Academy could learn this lesson. His team beat ours by a few points, they came in 3rd. Was he happy? No way, they didn't win and they are used to winning. I was happy for him for qualifying, I really wanted his team to fullfil his expectations, but see, he forgot, A- It's supposed to fun B-It just doesn't matter.
Go Team!

"And even if we win, if we win, HAH! Even if we win! Even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if God in Heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from Mohawk because they've got all the money! It just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. IT JUST DOESN'T MATTER!"
Oh, and congrats! Well done, coach.
America could use a man like Bill Murray. AndyMan, your girls are awesome!
Chase,
Thanks and Meatballs to you! And Superdave came closest to guessing what last night's dinner was when guessed some kind of meat.

Actually, it's "Some Kind of Beef" ... but that's just splitting hares ... or hairs ... or whatever you want to split.
