You can’t simulate the actual game

I was completely obsessed as a kid

The Huskies proved they could do it again

A top four-seed was the presumed next step

Graceful in flight, but clumsy on the ground

They watched the ball rattle in for the lead

He’s strong enough; he’s not overswinging

It’s hard enough to score runs in this game

The trio took first place in the contest

Jiu jitsu has a lot of strategy

The golfers went off both tees in threesomes

A format they’ll use again Sunday

She said it’s not like any other sport

When she is shooting the ball well, you can’t

You can’t simulate the actual game

I was completely obsessed as a kid
