15-year anniversary of title
The vast majority of high school athletes don't become college or professional stars. But, that doesn't mean the experience wasn't valuable. High school sports can help young people build character, work with peers toward a common goal, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
One of those great memories for me was made 15 years ago today on March 2, 1991. My high school bowling team (Sayville High School on Long Island, N.Y.) won the Suffolk County Championship. Our team was solid, but not expected to win the title. However, we had six incredible games and advanced to the New York State tournament at Midway Lanes in Vestal, where I currently bowl in a weekly league.
Quite a few years have passed. We've all moved on to pursue other goals and become accomplished in other ways. And, we've lost a little bit of hair along the way. Even so, the memories and the pride remain. They always will.
