[QUOTE="OSU Blue, post: 246550"] odd how these seem to be in the youth bracket of play... State Championship in 2005, my senior year and playing as captain. We played 2 games so far, winning one easily and barely beating the number 2 ranked team. the final match was against our undefeated archrival, and other consistent championship contender. we played them 3 times in season (somebody sucked at scheduling) and lost by less than a try each match.. the last game against them was the last of the season, and until then the most fun ive had on a pitch. they were bigger, stronger and faster. i mean really, these guys were athletic as hell with experience and my whole team with the exception of 4 were rookies, including playing first-year freshmen and sophomores. this day was war. each player from each team played with a vengeance. it was hot, the ground was hard, and there were tons of people from each team doing each school's respective chants usually only done during football games. it was at a grid-lock, each team unable to do damage. their ouside center (where i played also), was easily the best player in the state, but unfortunately had a hurt knee so he wasn't up to par. but as they came on attack, their inside center was frantically looking for a pass, i read him like a book and stretched as far as i could and barely picked the pass off before it reached their outside. i ran like my feet were on fire and my ass was about to catch. made short work of the fullback and went across the line. the referee came up to me and told me how much of a joy it was to watch that play. meant a lot. we won 27-24. best damn day of my rugby career...
