re: Relate your experience in your last ever high school game in any sport

We lost at home in the first round of the playoffs and after the coach talk and cheerleader hugs I went and walked around the field reminiscing. I sat on the bench awhile and remember just smelling the grass, the sweat, and smoke from the bar b que at the concession stand. After awhile my dad who always waited outside the training room came and sat down with me and we talked about the game, my career and future. Walking up to the field house I noticed a photographer taking picture after picture, just of us. My dad who wasn't a man of means had traded a prized Canon lens to this professional photographer to shoot the game. At the time I loved the action photos he took, but now just a few years after my dads passing the only one I care about is of my dad with his arm around me this skinny beat up kid, who is now a man that gets melancholy at the memory of his high school football days and those special times with a special man.
