“This is stupid.”

In high school I ran cross country and played basketball (sparingly), so I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for those two sports. But this fall, as the halls are once again full of bustling students at area high schools, the one sport that I’m looking forward to the most is......drumroll.......soccer.

Bashed Buicks, crashed Chryslers, destroyed Dodges, fiery Fords, mangled Mercuries, smashed Saturns, totaled Toyotas ... What have I got myself into?

Tomorrow marks the first day of practice for the 2010-11 area high school sports teams, signaling the official start of fall sports slate.
