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

Lovely piece. I found nothing of value in my sports section… sigh.
